"A Lively Landscape of Lemons", acrylic on canvas, Bishop Maxim, 2024

A coastal village scene with lemons and a limoncello bottle ready to be served. This landscape invites contemplation of the present as a glimpse of the eternal, a scene not of stillness and death but of such blessing that it evokes sentiments like “Rejoice” and “Be courageous, I have overcome the world.” A landmark landscape. An example of Orthodox landscape painting! The lemons appear animated, bowing their heads as if to say, "Soon, we will be sliced and turned into refreshing lemonade."
