Lemons have been depicted in Italian art and coveted as an ornamental (and crop) tree in Sicily for hundreds of years. To Italian-Americans, the lemon is a reminder of Italy's beloved sun-soaked land.

Aglio
Original Acrylic Painting
Garlic. It seems being Sicilian and loving garlic go hand-in-hand. In Italian, garlic is aglio (pronounced AH-lee-oh). As my all-time favorite herb that I cook with every day, of course I had to paint garlic!
Illuminated by the sun (as all things are in Sicily), this bulb of garlic is surrounded by it's own fresh scapes and aromatic blooms. If you're Italian you may need more than one of these as we all know having only one bulb of garlic on hand is cause for serious concern.
Since each is painted completely freehand slight variations are to be expected and should be considered the sign of uniqueness that's present in all handcrafted items.

Lemons on Cobalt
Original Acrylic Painting
Styled after the traditional Sicilian lemon depictions usually painted on tabletops carved from volcanic stone from Mt. Etna. In maiolica art, lemons are paired with cobalt blue to create striking contrast and vibrancy.
Extensive research and study sketching went into ensuring this painting's design and colors respectfully pays homage to the classic "limoni" with their green and gold hues, historic cobalt background and lemon yellow border.

Summer Lemons
Original Acrylic Painting
I fell in love with how bright and airy Lemons on Cobalt looked during the painting process. As you can imagine by looking at Summer Lemons, it generated visions of sitting in a Sicilian garden under the shade of lemon trees where the hum of bees and the scent of citrus drift on the air and the brightness of the warm sun illuminates the lemons overhead.
Extensive research and study sketching went into ensuring this painting's design and colors respectfully pays homage to the classic "limoni" with their green and gold hues, complimented with a soft sky blue border.

Pomegranate
Original Acrylic Painting
The pomegranate is one of my favorite fruits. I couldn't resist the temptation to paint a pomegranate when it figures heavily in my maiolica ceramics collection.
January's birth stone, garnet, is named after the pomegranate as the stone's natural crystal formation looks very much like pomegranate seeds. Since the time of the ancient Greeks, the pomegranate's meaning includes fertility, immortality and beauty. We even found wild pomegranates growing near the tombs of Cava d'Ispica, a collection of caves near Modica, Sicily dating back to the Bronze Age.
Extensive research and study sketching went into ensuring this painting's design and colors respectfully pays homage to the ripe pomegranate that's often depicted split open by an abundance of seeds.
