For the fresh smell of excitement, I decided to slice a lemon. Rarely do I slice my fruit, but pieces of citrus seem to become very interesting when slashed apart, to become new and different shapes. These paintings were very exciting when they were just roughed in, so I tried to retain some of the raw "sketch" quality of the original layers of paint.

Today I carved out a small study of a sliced lemon. Aside from being a challenge, it sure does smell nice.
