“Seven Species”
Acrylic on canvas
18 × 24 inches

The seven species of food listed in the bible to describe the land of Israel.

From Deuteronomy 8:8 (and here’s a little coincidence I absolutely love – 8/8 ‘August 8th’ is my wedding anniversary): “A land of wheat and barley, and vines, and figs, and pomegranates; a land of olives (oil), and dates (honey).”
