Lemon #1 5" x 7" Christina Pickard and Robin Orbach Starke SOLD

One day in the studio not too long ago, Robin started drawing this random lemon on part of an old, ripped-up monotype. We never used it or paid much attention to it—the color was great and the shape certainly fits into our vocabulary of forms, but it’s not like we’re obsessed with lemons so we forgot about it. It sat in a pile of old Arches paper, failed drawings and prints, and other assorted bits that we sometimes use for collage.

Well, the lemon’s back. And we’ve decided to do a series on lemons. It wasn’t intentional or deliberate like our series with the fair. We sort of fell into it and are having fun thinking about the different ways a lemon can be depicted.
