Thanks to everyone here who convinced me to keep the lemons. I'm really happy with how this came out.

RIP my lemons (lemmy.world)

Acrylic on wood.

Not ready to share the whole painting. I added these lemons because the composition needed something to balance it and i was really happy with how they were coming out.

Last night, 2 am on my way to the bathroom, I glance at it in the dark and realize these lemons are life-sized - while the rest of the painting is double that. And they're in the foreground. So now I have to repaint them.

Please do not drag the same tired jokes over from reddit (e.g. broken arms). Stick around long enough to learn Lemmy's tired jokes.

I started off painting an owl, and worked on it long enough without seeing improvement so I wanted to abandon it. But I could see this little critter lurking under the owl.

It's fantastic when I only have my reading light on at night.

Koseki snaps multiple exposures in a single frame, layering the glowing spheres of light and parabolic flight paths of numerous fireflies over landscapes featuring trees, waterfalls, woodland creatures, and distant horizons.

You may recall my initial version with the tree in the background.

Do you guys see a duck in this painting? My family say they can't look at it without seeing a duck, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

No only super special nerds like me, I'm so quirky.

It eats them up that democrats are using "freedom" as their buzzword now.

I also liked (paraphrasing): "Can you think of any other candidates capable of beating trump?" Joe: "Yeah, at least 50 of them."

The problem is that people can map fictional resistance movements onto opposite real life parties. In my college poli Sci class, both I (a known lefty) and the most conservative guy in class excitedly supported the idea of showing V for Vendetta. I guarantee the January 6 guys thought they were in an underdog resistance movement.

Love this bit:

“The State of Florida has not justified this grave restraint, and so the United States Constitution does not tolerate it. Ours is a Union of individuals, celebrating ourselves and singing ourselves and being ourselves without apology.”

The real identity politics were the Conservatives we met along the way.

Honey fans eating literal bug vomit.

Mushroom fans eating literal reproductive organs.

Lots of things sound gross when you think about their origins. Just eat what you like.
