Lemon with Leg 

"Lemon with Leg" is a still life oil painting created by American artist Melisssa Hefferlin, born in 1968. The painting features a single lemon with leaves, rendered in a realistic style, set against an abstract background of geometric shapes in vibrant hues of blue, purple, and red. The contrast between the realistic lemon and the abstract background adds a sense of visual interest and invites the viewer to explore the interplay of form and color. This piece exemplifies Hefferlin's artistic approach to still life, incorporating elements of abstraction to create a unique and dynamic composition.
