Spotlighting harvest time, albeit a bit wistfully. I don't usually have much of a harvest, but my parents do. This year, though, they have had so much rain that only the grass and weeds have thrived.

ReplyDeleteOur tomatoes are finally coming in! Just got three beauties just a few minutes ago. Now if only our potatoes (des pommes de terre) would just lie on top of the soil like in the picture. :-)
These paintings are great reminders of all the labor that goes into harvesting. Now you need to have some works that depict all the secondary labor, like snapping beans, mashing grapes, pickling cucumbers, canning tomatoes....
