Over the holidays, Don and I made a trip to the Fire and Water Festival in Arnauldville, LA, because we found out that an old college friend of mine was going to be there. And old college friend, Jill Hackney, who is an amazing artist. She paints wonderful pictures that are abstract, yet not abstract at all of fruit. We had bought two of her small paintings last Christmas and we had agreed that we really wanted a larger piece by her. And we discovered a few months ago that her prices are moving upward rather rapidly.

So, we met up with her, hung out with her and wound up commissioning a piece from her. This one to be 4 feet by 4 feet. And it's ready!

Presenting our new persimmons...

D, you're gonna have to post something new. Or we'll have to start having lunch every couple of weeks. When are you free?
