Description
Female figure seated in the kitchen in Victorian clothing holding a bowl of lemons on her lap. She is wearing her hair in a bun in the fashion of the time while holding a bowl of lemons and peeling them. The artwork is of a female in her kitchen with a chair behind her and a bowl of lemons in blue, yellow, and purples. The brushstrokes are accurate and fun. The artist has written this about the figure painting: A female figure is seated in the kitchen holding a bowl of lemons. The fragrant lemons are being peeled and she is wearing a victorian dress with her hair up in a bun. The wafting smells of the active kitchen remind her of a painting of lemons. The female remembers the time she used to pick lemons from the trees in the fields. She would leave them on the ground, and they would dry out. They had been much larger then, and more abundant.
She rubs her eyes and looks at the clock. It's after midnight; it must have been one of those thoughts that woke her up.
The woman stands up quickly and begins wiping down the counters, moving the kitchen food, utensils, and the bowl of lemons, before putting away the dishes. She notices the lemon peels left on the counter and picks them up, placing them into a waste bin. Then she takes out a cloth and wipes around the sink. Nothing happened tonight, just like last night. She takes a fragrant lemon with her. She shakes her head and goes back upstairs.
In her bedroom, she places the lemon in the blue porcelain bowl that is next to her four bedpost bed. She pulls off her clothes and puts on her pajamas. Her hands move swiftly over the bed as she makes sure everything is in order. No dust anywhere, not even under the sheets or behind the curtains. The woman places the red rose that had remained on her pillow all day into the vase by the door. She will smell the wonderful citrus odor wafting from her nightstand all night and it will trigger her warm dreams once again. This is Victorian England.
