In When Life Gives You Lemons, humour becomes armour, attitude becomes survival, and the everyday absurdities of menopause take centre stage. This portrait celebrates a woman who has moved beyond the need to sugar-coat anything – least of all herself. The oversized glasses, the unapologetic cigar, and the dangling lemon form a trio of visual metaphors for a season of life that is equal parts sour, sweet, and sharply honest. A sparrow perches beside her, a reminder of her resilience and quiet courage needed to navigate shifting moods, sudden heat, and the relentless demands of daily life. Bold colours and loose brushwork mirror the unpredictability of this phase, where identity reshapes itself in surprising ways. With wit and warmth, the painting captures a woman who refuses to fade. When life gave her lemons, she made Margarita!
