Before
Ivan,
there
was
a
lot
of
cocoa
grown
in
Grenada.
Some
trees
still
remain.
This
one
is
by
the
river,
near
where we made the carrot beds in Corn Buck . Some years ago now, I remember an animated discussion, between my co workers, who were disputing the paternity of one of their younger sister's, soon to be, baby.
Apparently, the child was conceived 'quite in the cocoa'.
A blessing, to be sure.

Just beautiful! All that lovely light coming through.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's beautiful - so vibrant!
ReplyDeleteThanks blisshill and Minerva, this painting was a bit of a departure for me as it was a present for my father's birthday so I tried to do it in a style that he would like.
ReplyDeleteAm glad you and he like it.
