This is one of my favourite jugs. I've painted it a few times, also the wooden bowl carved by my father-in-law and inscribed "FWJ lime wood, 1976". Hopefully the wooden bowl looks like a chunk of carved tree, the jug looks ceramic and the fruit is recognisably lemons and limes. I'm experimenting with colour contrasts - originally the background was bright orange which didn't really work. This colour scheme gives it a cool look which I quite like. I'm working on another jug painting and then maybe I'll get back to abstracts.
