I Love Limes — Print PREORDER

$38.00
I love limes. My family sold mint limeade for a summer at the farmer’s market in my small town. Our mint limeade sign was my first “real” attempt at hand lettering, done on foam board from the local King’s. There was always a big antique bowl of limes on the dining room table in the summer. We’d pull up the mint that grew through the fence from the neighbor’s house. I once spent a late night sipping whisky while my friend gave me a silly little stick and poke tattoo of a bowl of limes on my ankle. I had to go back and do the same thing again so she could color in the limes so no one would mistake them for lemons. I painted this specifically with the desire to have a pop of red in my home, and love the way the green of limes (my true love) plays against the red. Originally painted in gouache.
