Lemon a day

SOLD  6″x6″  15cm x 15cm watercolour on rag paper,  for sale on Etsy search for lemonaday

I moved the lemons and did them in extreme wet on wet, I like the random way the paint flows sometimes, ok not entirely random, if it goes in completely the wrong direction I just blot it up with bog roll and try again or tip the pad so it flows off somewhere better.

These lemons are sat on the plate glass I use for rolling printing ink; I really like the watery blue that you get in thick glass.

I forgot to mention yesterday I found quite a lot of ear fungus growing on some sickly looking elder trees half way up the downs. As I think they taste like crunching on a real ear they are not my favourite so I dropped them off at my favourite gastro-pub on the way home.
