Catch Up - Print of the Month, Lemon Sliced, August 2026

If you missed this print of the month club image, here is your chance to get it! This image is a painting of a single lemon that has been sliced on a neutral background. This painting is part of my 100 Paintings in 100 Days series. The original image was painted with oils on canvas. 

Impressionism has always been a major influence on me as an artist, so I painted this in an Impressionistic style.

Each print is signed in the lower right hand corner and measures 5x7 inches. 

I hope this print brings you joy!
