Lemon, The End

The reference photographer, who lives half-way around the world from here in Northern Virginia, chose the name "The End of the Lemon" which makes me chuckle at the double meaning - I wonder if that was his intent? Always suspicious when knives are involved!

Thought it would be fun to paint the shadows at such an unexpected angle.  Spent more time trying to get this right than I’m willing to admit.  Yellow is a tricky color to shadow because blue is normally used, but that just makes it green – so the recommendation is to use purple, but that makes for a pretty yucky brown, so --- maybe a combination is the answer.
