I’m tempted to say this is kind of boring but it’s really not at all: these are really adequate lemons. They’re instantly recognizable yet not photo-realistic. Perfect lemons would be boring. These lemons? They have character. They’re obviously painted yet they are perfect in their imperfection. If Van Gogh had painted lemons, I think they would look something like this. Yes, I’m being serious! I don’t even like lemons. But I like THESE lemons!
And if you think I’m kidding about the Van Gogh bit, check out his 1885 “Basket of Apples”, which could also have been a Basket of Walnuts or Basket of Diminutive Pumpkins. His apples were great because of how uniquely not-so-great they were.
By the way: Artist - sign your work next time :)
