Alfred E. Newman, of Mad Magazine fame had an avocado sapling named ‘Arthur’. A year or so ago, I germinated a couple of avocado pits as well. Here are a couple of my paintings of Arthur as a sprout: Arthur’s Roots, Arthur On His Own, Checking In On Arthur, Arthur Update.
This is Arthur today:
Arthur, In Decline
9″x12″ 140# Cold Pressed Watercolor Block
Arthur has had a hard time this past year. Hopefully I can bring him back to his former glory.
I had an avocado that lost all its leaves a few years ago, but I watered it all winter and it revived in the spring. Still doing well. (K)
I guess there’s hope for Arthur, then!
