Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

"Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy" is a lively and refreshing mixed-media artwork, by Kiki Piper, that embodies the essence of summer. Created with ripped magazine paper and acrylic paint on canvas, this piece depicts a handful of lemons, one of which is cut in half, with water splashes radiating behind them against a vivid blue background.

The use of ripped magazine paper gives them a textured, almost tactile quality, enhancing the impression of their dimpled, zesty surfaces. The cut lemon reveals its juicy, segmented interior, with droplets of water captured in mid-splash, symbolizing the burst of flavor and energy that lemons convey.

The entire composition is bursting with energy and fun, reminiscent of summer's freshness and the invigorating zing of citrus. The interplay of bright yellow against the cool blue background creates a striking contrast that is visually stimulating and joyful. This artwork is not just a visual treat but also an evocation of summer memories — the taste of fresh lemonade, the scent of citrus, and the zestful energy that comes with sunshine-filled days.
