Sorrento Lemons

$675.00

Acrylic on wood panel, 60 × 40 x 4 cm

This richly layered acrylic painting is created on a sturdy handcrafted wood panel and finished with three coats of gloss medium to bring out the depth of colour and texture. It’s presented in a hand-sanded meranti float frame, waxed to a soft sheen that complements the work without overpowering it. The final surface is gently taken back with beeswax to a beautiful satin finish that catches the light just right.

Wired and ready to hang straight out of the box.

Goodbye Lot 20 is a series of still-life paintings I created in mid-2025 as we packed a large studio and home to move after 14 years. I painted the flora of our garden and paddocks partly as a sanity exercise and a break from the packing boxes. The vessels used were either heirlooms or had been used in student exercises during my art classes in the shed.

I started this painting while my Sense of Self Exhibition was running at The Churn Room in Dayboro. I painted it up on the mezzanine level with the view over the Dayboro tin roofs and the red glass of the old windows. I included it in Goodbye Lot 20 as I kept working on it during the time I was making that collection. All 3 paintings actually ended up hanging in Feast, so I am not exactly sure which collection they belong in. The lemons were from our trees in Cedar Creek, the tree was called “ Lots of Lemons”, and there were except they were tiny. I made preserved lemons from them. The cloth and spoon rest were a gift from my son’s girlfriend Sophie from their Italian trip.
