Item Description
Oil, 18x18 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.5 inches deep (no frame required)
Like other countries in the region, Turkey is known for its spices and herbs which include cinnamon, mint, yenibahar (made from pimento berries), cardamom, cloves, ginger, cumin, oregano, saffron, bay leaves and red pepper.
The spices are not only part of the cuisine, but part of the heritage as well. For example, the black nigella seed is one of the oldest known spices with traces of them having been found in Tutankhamen's tomb as well as in Hittite sites in Turkey that date back to the second century B.C.
Artist's Note:
I was drawn especially to the deep and varied colors of the red peppers, of which there are at least five types that differ in flavor and heat -- complemented by the bright tones of the other mouth-watering herbs and spices.
Item Special Note
Hearts & Homes for Refugees' Note:
Turkey is a global leader in providing refuge: As of October 2020, there are over 3.6 million Syrian refugees in Turkey. In contrast, in Fiscal Year 2020, just 481 Syrian refugees were admitted to the United States.
