The Loose Lemon



6" x 8"
The Loose Lemon #73

I set the timer on this baby; 45 minutes from start to finish.  I think it's one of my best because it's so loose.  Setting a timer and sticking to it, makes me efficient with each brush stroke because each stroke matters.  There's no time to waste, goofing around with bad color or an incorrect drawing.  It was finished just in time for my critique!  The main feedback for the past 3 lemon paintings,  is to get "more color in the shadows".  The one above does this the best.  The other suggestion is to play around with colored backgrounds that will make the lemon pop.  I'll get on that tomorrow.  


Here's our painting Guru, Tim Horn, showing us his work.
We are all drooling in the front row.
Everyone stands when Tim puts up his work.
