OLD FIG TREE

My grandfather raised his family in California's fertile Central Valley.
He had two orchards, one was all Almonds and one was all Figs.
He picked, packed and hauled the figs to market in a nearby port city for shipping.
I loved the older gnarly trees.

This is a memory in Ink & Watercolor.
