Oil painting on hardboard 4.5in x 6in.
This small oil study was done over a black ground which I think enhances the colors of this painting.
A lot of very old lemon trees are growing wild on this farm, the fruit is an old fashioned variety known in rural Australia as bush lemons. They make a great painting subject as they are much rougher and more interesting than the newer smooth varieties. They also taste very nice, mostly eaten with a touch of salt.
