i recently did a series of fall fruit + vegetable drawings for a company. i’ve always loved the pomegranate. they remind me of my childhood. walking home from our piano lessons, my sisters and i would often stop and pick a pomegranate from a tree along the way, crack it open, and eat it right there on the spot. back then, “stealing” fruit from a stranger’s tree was not considered a crime. plus, i grew up in the central valley where there was an abundance of fruit trees. there was always more than enough.
