The Lemon Tree Suite

This series of 100 drawings and watercolours form a complete work. Each image is drawn on an A3 sheet of white paper, which is an integral part of the image, a kind of enclosing silence. There is no intended theme. They are held together by a recurring image of a lemon tree. These were drawn from life every few days.

The pictures are intended to be exhibited in a circular space where one enters at one end, goes around and ends up at the beginning.

Although each image may be looked at individually, the series here can be better appreciated in sequence. You can do this by clicking on the arrows on each page or using your mouse wheel.
