Bush Lemons



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.
