“Blue and Citrus.” This vibrant 16 x 20 inch oil on canvas captures a still-life arrangement of lemons and limes on a dark blue cloth, featuring an ornate bowl and a shadowed bottle in the background. The warm, earthy tones of the backdrop set off the bright, vivid colors of the fruits, creating a striking contrast that brings the whole composition to life. I poured a lot of care and expressive brushwork into this piece to give it a textured, dynamic feel.
