Lately these large green apples have smiled up from our lunch tables. Such a perfect fruit and such rich yellow greens prompted this day’s work. One escapee from the womb of the apple inspired the name. Will there be a new tree, new generations of delicious green apples from this tiny seed? With as few strokes as I could manage, my brush salutes the wondrous regeneration of life.
