Branch of Lemons — Fine Art

Branch of Lemons shows a branch heavy with pale yellow fruit against a loose painted background. The leaves lean outward and the fruit sits close together along the stem. Soft greens and yellows mix in the paint. Claude Monet worked out of doors and painted fruit and garden subjects in this way.

This fine art print sits in a frame with a back panel. The matte surface keeps the yellows and greens from shining under a lamp. You see the painted branch as a flat, clear image on the paper.

On a kitchen wall near the sink the branch hangs above the counter. From the table you notice the yellow fruit first and the green leaves next. The light from the window falls on the frame and the painted fruit stays steady.
