n East Asia, the plum tree normally blossoms in mid-winter during January and February when all flowers die, and the land is bare and colorless. Despite the frost and cold, the blossoms appear; and in the early summer around June and July the fruit ripens. For this reason, I believe a bowl of plums convey a sense of hope, opulence, and wellbeing. “Plums” is a hand painted still life digital image and photo composite created in Spadecaller’s Florida Studio on 4/19/2022.
