We made lemon curd to give to friends this Christmas, which afforded me a great opportunity to try my hand at painting a lemon for the label. I didn’t have much time to spend on it, but it felt good to be back at painting.
Here is the finished label. I put suggestions on the back: “Try it on English Muffins or Toast, Vanilla Ice Cream, or a Spoon”. In case you are wondering, the spoon method is the best.
Btw, I am determined to put other things on hold and spend more time sketching and painting in the coming year, so I should be posting more often in the next months. Life is too short to let something I enjoy so much get crowded out…
This blog is about my journey as a botanical artist--what I am learning, what inspires me and what I am currently drawing or painting. My desire is to continually hone my skills to better express my wonder and gratitude for the beauty of the creation around me in the Pacific Northwest (USA).
Janene–I like your lemon and your lemon curd gift idea. I completely agree with your sentiment about making time for things you enjoy. I’m looking forward to your upcoming blog posts!
Thanks, Vicki–I hope to see you on some sketch crawls before too long!
Your label is very effective and beautifully done.
I love lemon curd…great idea for a gift!
Thank you, Cathy! I hope our friends like it.

Great image of Lemon. You forgot how good it is on pound cake. I’m going to check here more often and see if you are getting more sketching done.
Good luck in the New Year.
