For Christmas, my pal Alyse made me a present that mixed my curiosity in apples, my enjoyment of her artwork, and a analysis venture we’re embarking on collectively. She scanned a web page from a nineteenth-century nursery catalog and painted a shiawassee apple on it within the model of USDA pomological watercolors.
She primarily based the apple on a c. 1911 watercolor by Ellen Isham Schutt.
Right here’s hoping your holidays are a mix of all of your favourite issues and good family and friends.
Glad Holidays!
