"Avocados"


8"x 6" oil on canvas, $100

So I was looking for a little history on the avocado and here's what I found: the word avocado can be traced back to the Aztec language, Nahuatl. Ahuacatl was their word which means both "fruit of the avocado tree" and "testicle". Think about that next time you're making a bowl of guacamole.

"Two Strawberries"


8"x 6" oil on canvas, SOLD

We have been members of a Community Supported Agriculture program for about 13 years now and I am always thrilled to find organic strawberries in our box in February! I grew up in the mid-West and strawberries were strictly a summer treat. Believe it or not, these berries were as tasty as they look thanks to the good folks at Be Wise Ranch who are committed to sustainable agriculture and organic produce.
