lemonade

this painting is for anyone who wants to come home + detach from the stress of daily life a bit.  want a bit more whimsy, joy, delight in your life?  want a reminder to be playful and ask yourself, "what if?"  if so, this painting's your gal.  I mean, if paintings had genders 

the black backgrounds are designed to remind you that even in the darkest time, good things are blooming.  there is always something positive to cling to--a light in the darkness.  something to keep you hoping.  my son, Henry, says they are like neon signs--shining in the dark 😍

this is a pitcher full of blooming lemons, peonies and a sweet little goldfish painted on a 6x8" cradled panel with 2" deep sides that also feature lemons + blossoms.  this varnished, acrylic painting is ready to hang and would look great with any of the other paintings in the collection.

The goldfish is a nod to my mom, who used to keep a beta fish in a vase that had plants growing in it (I believe its called aquaponics) and I started wondering... "what if those were flowers instead??  and a goldfish?"

please note that the vibrant colors and also the black are surprisingly hard to photograph!!   If you are seeing little white dots or things that don't look right--its just my photography light reflecting off of the black.
