Lemon - Original Oil Painting - Citrus Still Life Art - 5 inches

A zesty splash of sunshine for your smallest wall space.

"Lemon" is a vibrant and energetic original oil painting that turns a simple piece of fruit into a bold statement of color. The composition features a single, plump yellow lemon, complete with a fresh bright green leaf and stem. The citrus fruit is rendered with thick, confident brushstrokes that capture its textured rind and glowing highlights of pink and cyan. It casts a deep, saturated purple shadow against a heavily textured, moody lavender background, creating a striking complementary contrast.

Painted on a petite 13x14 cm (5.1x5.5 inch) handmade primed wood panel, this artwork hides a warm secret: a vibrant orange underpainting. If you look closely at the edges of the lemon, the stem, and the shadow, you will see fiery flashes of this base layer peeking through, giving the entire piece a luminous, vibrating depth. It is a bright, joyful addition to a kitchen, a bar cart, or as part of a colorful gallery wall.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Bold Color Theory: The pairing of intense yellow against a deep purple background creates a high-contrast, modern feel that makes the fruit pop.
• Tactile Impasto: Alai’s signature thick, expressive oil strokes give the lemon and its leaf a wonderful sculptural quality that invites the eye to linger.
• Vibrant Underpainting: The hidden orange base layer provides an energetic "halo" effect around the fruit, adding a sense of warmth and light.
