3 Lemons

3 Lemons 6x6 Oil Framed $150

I use lemons to both identify direction in my work and to return to the familiar. Painting lemons is kind of like listening to a piece of music that you know. I think it organizes me. Helps me to make the next decision.

This painting can be viewed during my solo show at the Spiral Press Cafe, adjoining the Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, VT from November 18, 2009 through the holiday season. Please stop in if you happen to be in the area, look at the work, purchase your favorites, and leave comments on the blog! If you would like to purchase this before the show, please email me: daleblodget@gmail.com

Lemons, Lime and Quimper

Oil on Board 5"x7" NFS

I love using this plate. The color and detail provide a visually appealing base for what sits on top. I bought this citrus when we were having an unusual warm spell. I had visions of summer cocktails on the deck after the fruit had finished modeling. The black flies think my plan a good one and wait for me outside.
