This is a preview of some of the new apple portraits we'll be displaying in November. These life-size color pencil drawings by Peggy Irvine depict heirloom apples from Humboldt County. This is our second show of Irvine's botanical illustrations, and once again, we're inviting growers to the store for an apple tasting on Saturday, November 7, from 6 to 9 p.m. (during Arts Alive). Last year, we had more than two dozen varieties of apples on hand. See you then!
The apple fruit has been a symbol throughout history, is quoted in the Bible as the forbidden fruit that caused the expulsion of man from paradise. Even without knowing its chemical composition and nutritional properties, conventional wisdom has always been attributed healthy virtues.
