I really enjoy painting fruit. Hopefully, some day I will be able to finish a piece quickly enough to paint from life. Until then, I will continue to use reference images (this one was from Unsplash).

I thought these were lemons until I happened to hover over the filename… now I see what I thought was deep yellow is pale orange. Looks really appetizing either way, and the leaves are a nice contrast.

Thank you. I’m pleased that you like it.
I give the photographer all the credit for the beautiful lighting. It was what drew me to the reference photo.

The photographer may be responsible for the lighting and composition, but it still takes a skilled artist to recapture it well, so at least give yourself some credit.

Agree!
They are actually lemons. See yellow lemon fruit on brown wooden table photo – Free Food Image on Unsplash .
And I agree, this painting is stunning.

That is so funny! I had downloaded the reference photo some time last year and saved it with the name “backlit lemons”. However, after staring at the photo for so many hours while painting I convinced myself that I had mislabled the file but I was too lazy to track down the photo on UnSplash to verify. Hence, the name change to “oranges”.
