[Art] Lemon as Totem

[moonvoice]

Part of the commission series.

Lemon as Totem
Prints and other things available here






This was an insane amount of fun. I mean they all are. But I really love the energy of lemons and lemon trees in general (though I'm probably slightly more focused on limes).

This is fab!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you think so. :)

[rainsingingwolf.livejournal.com]

You are awesome! <3

*bounce*

[liondaughter.livejournal.com]

I can almost smell it!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I love them. God knows what I did to the enamel on my teeth when I used to eat them raw.

[skyfiery.livejournal.com]

Awesomely cute! =D

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

Wow! So vibrant! Also: YUM.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Om nom nom nom.

Lemon Tree, Very Pretty

[perzephone.livejournal.com]

This is awesome. This would look fantastic in my kitchen.

How come you never told us you could do plants as totems? Huh? Huh?

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Heh. I didn't know until someone asked! :D

[jaspenelle.livejournal.com]

This is really interesting. It makes perfect sense that different trees have different energies but it isn't something I've thought of as totem before. It's making me rethink the rowan that is so often the tree in which one of my totems perches in my dreams.

Personal musing aside, I LOVE this. It just radiates cheerfulness to me.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I work with a few tree totems, but not many food plant totems (except maybe passionfruit and pineapple).

[anrui-ichido.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. Lemony fresh. :D

This is so awesome!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Heh, now I'm thinking 'lemon scented, for your comfort!'

Why am I thinking this???? WHY???? Lol.

[silere.livejournal.com]

I love this! Love. I love that you can grok plants as well as animals. Oddly enough, i have a huge desire to see Moss as totem now. huh. And i am terribly fond of limes, so i wonder what your work with Lime would be like.

Aanyway, you rock! <3

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'll be able to grok all plants. It'll be interesting to see if I can 'get' species that aren't here in Western Australia (feral or otherwise).

[perlandria.livejournal.com]

So very very very very did I mention very PERFECT!
LUBS!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Aw yay! Thank you! :D

[shioneh.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! this is *awesome* such beautiful golden sunshiney citrusy-ness. I'd be very excited to see more plant totems. I'd love to see limes too, I ♥ limes.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Limes are the best. I love pruning lime trees, because the leaves, the sap, the branches all smell like lime. Lemons don't have that scent in quite the same way. But pruning limes was *awesome*.

Okay, this is awesome! I think I'll have to buy a print to put in our kitchen, as we LOOOOOVE lemon in this household...

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

That's awesome. You know, this ended up with so much feedback I've thought about drawing other food totems now.

[ariestess]

That would be a fun series of totems, I think. And a grouping of them would be a great gift to someone moving into a new place... *ponders that*

[opalblack.livejournal.com]

This is wonderful!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[eldriwolf.livejournal.com]

YUM! Love it.
I look forwards to seeing other plant- totems.
Lemons are *the* citrus folks grow here in Berkeley.
The print of this will make a nice gift, even friends who are 'just cooks' will love it

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I'd love to do other food totems.

Lemons are awesome.

[earthguardian.livejournal.com]

I didn't know you could have plants as totems! That's pretty fun.

The lemons looks so delicious! :D

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I've never really done them before in this style, but I've always wanted to explore more plant totems. :)

[earthguardian.livejournal.com]

:]

[sistahraven.livejournal.com]

That's fantastic! :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

Heh that icon is so cute, there's a raccoon coming up, actually!

[lupabitch.livejournal.com]

I hope this prompts more commissions for plant totems :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I hope so too. Though I think I'll really struggle with species I haven't met before. Plants are difficult to grok (for me) if I haven't actually felt its energy in person.

[kehleyr.livejournal.com]

*SQUEEEEE* I love it!!!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Aw thank you. :)

[sidheblessed.livejournal.com]

I love this. The colours, the brightness, the fact that it's a lemon.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Heh. Lemons FTW!

[silverjackal.livejournal.com]

I like the delicacy of this. I also really like lemons, both the flower and the fruit.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you.

[mirrorred-star.livejournal.com]

That is ridiculous amounts of awesome. So sunshiney!

[jet-ski.livejournal.com]

hah they are so cute!

[firehauke.livejournal.com]

fascinating! (not a Spock impersonation, lol)

[zuki-san.livejournal.com]

This art presenation style apparently leads itself just as well to plants as animals. Hoorah, who knew!

And I -just- realized that it's still an illustration of Lemon Tree as a worthy spirit. Lookin' all solar and warm and mouth-watering delicious. I love that you show bud, blossom, and fruit here.

[psychrobia149.livejournal.com]

Oh dear god LOLOL! When I first saw you list 'lemon' in the 'as totems animals to come' list....I was really intrigued because I had never heard of the 'lemon animal' before....and I thought that maybe in Australia, you had some kind of fantastic 'lemon' running around eating leaves or bugs or something. *slaps self in head* LOLOL!

Now I know though LOLOL! Beautiful piece by the way! :)
