A (not so) simple slice of pie

A simple little piece of pie titled "Lemon Meringue" 10 x 12, but what a monumental effort. I had this idea of an all yellow painting first, but as I progressed it just wasn't happening. So add a little pink......better, more yellow, and a tiny bit of green. Its improving, but not really taking off. And it never really did. After I was done, I cropped the panel down, and phew..........its done. There is just enough awkwardness in the piece to give it some charm, but what an effort, and what a LOT of paint. The next one has got to be easier!
