"Lemons and limes are cheerful pairings of fruit and color." Colors can evoke an emotion or reference an object without the realistic representation of the object. This goes to the core of abstract painting. Lemons and limes are referenced by the color in this piece.
This is basically a monochromatic piece with yellow / green being the root color. That root color is most obvious in the center of interest where the color has very little dilution.
Color can be diluted several ways. It can be diluted by adding water...by glazing with white gesso...by graying down with the complement. Dilution affects the intensity of a color by knocking it down. All of these types of dilution are present in this piece.
The first step in really knowing a particular color is being able to identify a color's hue (root color)...its value compared to the gray scale, and its intensity. Having the right information and steps to accessing this skill is a preliminary step to mixing any color you see. Just something to think about.
Please contact me personally to inquire about this piece.
