Hole-y doughnuts! That took long enough.

But here she is! Ain’t she a peach? Literally? I mean, she’s a painting of a peach. And she makes Mister giggle each time he looks at her.

Another example of outdoor art, “Georgia! Come for the Peaches, Stay for the Kudzu, Y’all!” is a companion piece to “Meet Me In St. Screwy, Louis!” They hang on the same patio and we’d like to do a few more. We’ve lived in a few other places, so we’ll see what we can come up with. This one is done on yard-sale-find wood and sealed to the max with a flat varnish formulated specifically for outdoor paintings. It’s a process, folks. That’s part of why it took us so danged long to finish it. That’s also why we’ll ruminate for some time over what to paint next, before starting another piece of outdoor art.

In the meantime, we’re super-keen on this little gal. And for those who don’t know, kudzu is an incredibly invasive plant that thrives in the American South. People talk about it growing fast enough to wrap around a cow’s legs while it grazes. I’m not saying that’s true, but I’m not saying it ain’t, either. Word.
