Item Description
Oil, 20x20 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.25 inches deep (no frame required)
Pomegranates are thought to have originated in Afghanistan and Iran, where they are a major fruit crop and the source of the livelihoods of thousands of people.
Afghanistan has more varieties of pomegranate trees than anywhere else in the world. The province of Kandahar is famous in Afghanistan for its high-quality pomegranates.
Artist's Note:
Afghan pomegranates are said to be larger, sweeter and redder than those from other countries. It is their color (not quite red and not quite pink) and their shape (not quite round and not quite hexagonal) that I find most visually compelling.
Item Special Note
