"Lemon Meringue"/28"x22"/latex & ink on canvas/$425

"Lemon’s family are caretakers for a lemon tree orchard. They worked hard day- in and day- out picking, washing and crating the lemons for shipping all over the country. As a child, Lemon’s favorite playground was the orchard with its floral aroma and white and yellow blossoms. Its plump fruit appeared like tree ornaments dancing in the summer breeze.

As time went on, Lemon grew to love her life among the orchard. She became an expert baker. Her deserts were exquisite and becoming well known in the area. Lemon could craft deserts such as: lemon meringue pie which became her signature with its egg white topping ten inches high, lemon ricotta cookies with a delicious lemon glaze, lemon meringue cheesecake, lemon blueberry bread, lemon layer cake, lemon butter cookies, lemon icebox pie, lemon shortbread cookies, lemon bars, lemon poppy zucchini bread, lemon mousse cake, lemon tart, lemon ginger cream cookies and her most famous of all, lemon curd which can be spooned over meringue cookies, over pavlova and even pastry shells.

The family worked diligently filling all the orders for her delicacies and reached out to the top retailer of all: WAL-MART! After much negotiation her brand LEMON’S is now available and flies off the shelves into the mouths of the ravenous public!

The family continues to prosper and toasts their daughter with lemon martinis!"
