Row of Apricots 4x12 Oil on wood panel


The Turks, I have been told, use a phrase that translates to " perfect as an apricot in season". That pretty much agrees with my feeling - that really great apricots are grown in the back yard and harvested the instant they ripen. There is also a rumor that you can keep them in a refrigerator if you place them in a plastic bag with bananas. I don't know this this is true because I never had any left over. In Greek mythology, apricot juice is the Nectar of the Gods. E-mail me at artistjohnwlong@live.com
