Citrus Bowl

These are tiny lemons I recently got in a grocery store; they are more juicy and are more sweet than sour. When I was peeling the lemon in front, my hands were soaked with the juice, and the lemon was expelling a sweet fragrance.

For your convenience, I have created this painting on a 5"x7" gessoboard, so, as I have heard from buyers, it will be easier to find a frame for this piece.

Sunday Tea

Rather than coffee, people in Russia drink tea three times a day, after every meal. And a couple more cups between meals!

Cup of Gold

I had another debate with my family about the name of this painting. We finally settled on "Cup of Gold". The teacup and saucer are outlined with gold, the chocolate spheres have shiny golden wrappers, and the present in the background is pale gold with a bright golden ribbon. So there was no other logical name for this piece than "Cup of Gold".

Merry Christmas! This may seem like an early start, but I saw this bag of chocolate spheres and I knew I had to use them as models. Their shiny color makes them look like Christmas ornaments, doesn't it?

Red Reflection

This is the companion for "Green Shadow". It is actually supposed to be called "Red Shadow" instead of 'reflection', since it is the companion, but the shadow in this piece is not the most important detail. We had quite a discussion in our family about how to name this piece. "Red Shadow"? No. "Red and Orange"? No. "Bottle and Oranges"? No. "Little Charming Red Bottle"? Umm... "Red Reflection"? Yes.

I noticed this green bottle right when I was about to checkout. I quickly bought it and a red one just like it. I am going to paint something different with the red bottle as well. Be on the lookout! :)
