"Let's Cut Up a Watermelon" 
Acrylic on Canvas
16"x20"
When I was a little kid, our summer extended family get-togethers would sometimes culminate with the cutting of a watermelon. It was our ultimate Kentucky summer celebration. And I’m not talking about the average size round watermelons I often see nowadays. This was a massive, oblong, can’t-hardly-carry-it watermelon. My grandpa sat in his lawn chair and enjoyed his favorite food immensely, rinds piling up beside him while my cousins and I ran footloose and fancy free. Simple times. Good times.
