Latest Paintings- On Stage and Figs

"Figs" is very much related to my childhood. As I may have mentioned in an earlier posting, I grew up in a house full of fruit trees and one of them was a fig tree. I was always curious about this tree: leaves are rough to the touch and the stem spills a milky substance that is sticky when you cut the leave from the tree. My father used to make "higos en almibar"(figs in syrup) very often and we all savored it as a cold desert at lunch or dinner. Ah! What a gastronomic delight!
