A certain wild apple tree here on the farm drops its fruit early each year and the ground under it is a solid circle of red bringing to mind Robert Frost's poem "Unharvested" ....the scent of ripeness from over a wall......

12"x30"

acrylic on canvas

not for sale

This painting is of a compilation of objects which belonged at one time to some of the women in my family tree. My mother used to say that if you spill sugar it means that company is coming. I think there is no doubt in this case.
