Naturalezas muertas como Naranjas y limones (C 455) nos dan una idea de la rica y colorida vida de Churchill, al igual que sus paisajes y marinas. Churchill pintó Naranjas y limones en La Pausa. Churchill solía frecuentar La Pausa como invitado de su agente literario, Emery Reves, y su esposa, Wendy. Reves compró la casa a Coco Chanel. Aunque otros miembros de la familia Churchill no compartían su entusiasmo, a Churchill y a su hija Sarah les encantaba el lugar, al que Churchill llamaba cariñosamente "LaPausalandia". Para evitar pintar al aire libre en una fría mañana de enero, Wendy Reves preparó la fruta para que Churchill pintara. Rodeado de la magnífica colección de obras impresionistas y postimpresionistas de los Reves, que incluye varios cuadros de Paul Cézanne, Naranjas y limones ilustra las relaciones de Churchill y la influencia de Cézanne, a quien admiraba. El cuadro, al igual que Churchill, ha tenido una vida llena de color, ya que se expuso tanto en la muestra de sus pinturas de la Royal Academy of Art de 1959 como en la Exposición Universal de Nueva York de 1965.
