I wandered into a stationary store and fell in love with a pen designed to look like a chunky green pencil. When I got home I immediately made this piece to express my joy. Though its not included in the piece, the gaze of the subject is aimed towards that pen. I've used the pen to make a great deal of art, and the portrait is a happy reminder of the day I found it.
Why is it called "Freckled Lemonade"? Because I love freckled lemonade (aka strawberry lemonade with strawberry pieces in it), I make it at home and it makes me smile every time. The pen gave me the freckled lemonade feeling.
