I've been working with a limited palette of ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow light, and some sort of red; this was transparent oxide red.  I like the harmony that a limited palette creates.

My summer afternoon drink of choice.  I was determined to put down each individual brush stroke without blending or overworking, which is the number one reason I'm not satisfied with most of my paintings.  The values are good, but I'm not sure if I accomplished my goal.

I don't know if I'd recommend doing what I've done with the lemon in this case, but there are worse things you could do. I've had this one sitting around a while and I wanted to post it for October so here you go. It's cheap, let me know if you want it.
