Bowl of lemons

Phase 2. I'm imitating someone else's very nice arrangement, not marketing this, but trying a new approach. Plus, K likes lemons in her kitchen. These are clearly not trees.

Now, how to give the bowl depth?  How to make the fruit more 3-dimensional? 

I like working out these problems. 

I continue to get interest on these.  I was not originally going to sell, but the questions continue.  So, here's a possible price list. 

My current prices are as follows: 

For a finished product that I dreamt up, 40$ plus shipping for a 16X20.  

For a custom 16X20, $50. For a custom 18X24,  $70. 

If you have already purchased the canvas, $30 plus shipping. 

Does that sound fair? 

Now, if it all gets out of control and I quit my job and buy a studio, then take a vacation and study in Paris, paintings will cost much, much more. And if I buy a villa in Italy to support my muse, I'll need an Art History degree, and more canvas.  And maybe an assistant.  So prices will continue to increase. 

And if I default on the villa, become homeless, live on a street in London, prices will go down.

Added some shadows; creating depth and coolness.
Last night, there was nothing much to do except paint and relax.  School had been hectic and tense.  As I dabbed on the paint, I felt myself unknot, muscle by muscle.
