Lemons and Olive Branches

Lemons and Olive Branches by David R. Darrow 11" x 14" (27.9cm x 35.6cm)
Oil on Gessoed Mahogany Panel
SOLD Collection of Pamela Penner
Encinitas, CA – USA

About This Painting
Completed late last year.
I love the way the color of the objects work with and against each other, each vying for attention, poking in and out of the light. The organic in harmony with the inorganic; symbolic of our lives. The bitter of the lemon with the peace-offering olive branches.
Give and take.
Dark and Light.

  7. Wow, this has big presence! Beautiful, juicy, rich and sumptuous! By no means looks like a small painting. Has the look of a 30 x 36! Fantastic!
