Golden Lemons and Cerulean Glass – 11″ x 14″ Oil on canvas

Golden Lemons and Cerulean Glass captures the beauty of collaboration and the simple joy of everyday objects. The centerpiece of this still life—a striking cerulean glass bottle and matching pitcher—was generously loaned to me by a local shop owner in my town. The moment reminded me of the power of connection within our creative communities. I originally admired these pieces as potential purchases, but when I shared that I wanted to use them in a still life, she kindly offered to let me borrow them. It was an unexpected gesture of support, a reminder that art and creativity thrive when people work together.

The vibrant fabric swatch I selected for the backdrop features a playful floral design in shades that echo the yellows of the lemons. It reminded me of a cool summer day while tying the composition together with harmony and warmth. Lemons often make their way into my work because they bring a sense of freshness and vitality to the scene, their golden hues balancing beautifully with the cool tones of the cerulean glass. This painting is not just a celebration of color and form but also a reflection of gratitude for the generosity and kindness that often shape the creative process.

How would you style this piece? Would you complement it with your own favorite glassware, a cheerful tablecloth, or something unexpected? I’d love to hear your ideas!
