Today is a cold, gray wintery day in Ohio and my mind keeps going back to this past summer when I traveled to the Italian Amalfi coast. The steep hills were terraced with beautiful lemon groves laden with huge bulbous lemons. My senses were overwhelmed: bright yellows, sap greens, citrus perfumes, blue sky. My taste buds popped with the sweet and sour limoncello syrup. I tried to capture this feeling in
Limoncello, a painting I finished a few months ago. If you look closely you will see the yellow netting of the lemon bag incorporated on the cut flesh of the lemons, and the lemon label in some of the leaves.
