Smells can evoke memories, so can music, but can art alert your sense of smell? I'm sure of it, and it's what I hope I sometimes accomplish. Also, lemons are a favorite fruit of artists for still life, because, I think, they are so individual, bumpy, varied, not quite round but curvy - maybe something like the Buddhist tasting a raisin meditation, drawing your attention in a good way, helping to appreciate all their qualities of visual joy, tart memories, scent memories. Keep lemons close to remind you ot the gift they are to your memories, of pies, lemonaide, scones, Avgolemono... This original is now in a private collection, but Petite Prints are still available, and I love still life commissions - name your fruit!
