Strange Fruit

Strange Fruit

Strange Fruit…nothing to do with the song made famous by the brilliant Billie Holiday …..rather sitting on the beach today I was craving a banana split.

Available as a card, framed print, mounted print.

Not sure how it evolved from there…and I never got my banana split;)
