Child Art Paintings and Prints

My dad has an orchard of about one hundred fruit trees, typically peaches with some plum and pear trees scattered among them. Everyone loves to go to the orchard when the peaches are receiving ripe and eat them right off the tree where they are full of flavor and juice that just drips off your elbows as it runs down your arms.

That is precisely what Maddie, my little granddaughter, was doing as she was picking some to take back home with her. I tried to imprison that feeling as I painted her in her Pau-Paw’s peach orchard.
