Illustration 3: Final

"It's so subLIME!"  My husband was helping inspire me while I worked on my final painting by coming up with lots of lime-related puns.  This painting was an editorial illustration of an article about the lime shortage.  Apparently lime prices have skyrocketed as Mexican tree disease, drug cartels, and bad weather have caused a shortage. (you learn something new every day!)  As Andy said "these sorts of articles are really putting Mexico in the LIMElight, aren't they?" :)  Anyway, this was my idea of how to convey the main points of that article in an illustration!
