This was done on a scrape piece of watercolor paper. Every scrap is sacred. I did this before the challenge, I still have more work to do on the paintings sitting on my desk, and I just won’t have time to finish them today. I wanted to post, in case I don’t get home until late this evening.
Hope you all enjoy the weekend!
We are nearing the halfway point in Leslie Saeta’s 30 day challenge. The internet has been out most of the day, so I have yet see what my friends and fellow artist have worked on. I have a dinner date tonight, with my cousin and her four adorable daughters. The painting I started for today will have to be for tomorrow, it isn’t quite finished.
This lemon is one of the paintings I was able to save. Actually, it was done, it just was still drying and it look ruined. But when I looked the next morning, it looked pretty great. I am happy with it. I will be able to use it for an illustrated recipe.
Do you want to know a bit more about why lemons are so good? The link will lead you to an article I wrote last year.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look. Don’t forget to visit Leslie’s site!

Saved this after all. I added the pen detail, just a bit. And I really think it helped. it could be a lot better, but it won’t end up in the trash. I need to add a bit of sky, get rid of the white. I am thinking of adding a peek of a reader behind the trunk. A bit of shoe or shoulder. What do you think?
Have a super day everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by!
