The Olive Grove Painting

Spent the morning finishing my Ancient Olive Tree (grove) painting.

From this...











and the trunk...






And finally finished 







I love the gnarled look of the 900 year old Olives...unlike Live Oaks which stretch like a hand out of the ground...olives tend to Y.  They look like wide open arms waiting for a return embrace.

Ready to be sealed!

Since the Virtual Sicilian Adventure is over I have also found something made of Olive Wood as a souvenir.

This























Hand carved in Sicily to hold fruit or nuts...it will arrive soon!


Enjoy your weekend!
