| Description: |
"My
husband thinks this is one of my best watercolors," says
the artist Karen, "but I like it because it catches the
simple joy of anticipation I feel when this delicious fruit
is at its best."
The peach is thought to have started its worldwide spread from
China where it is considered to be a symbol of longevity, and
well it might for its journeyvia the Persian, Roman, and
Spanish Empiresbegan well over 2000 years ago.
Here at the Underground Art Gallery, wild peach trees have sprung
up on all the banks around the parking area, and their clusters
of small but tasty fruit make the branches bend low each September. |
