Sun-Ripe Fruit · Green and black olives on slender silvery leaves
An olive branch for the dinner table
Olive groves shimmer silver-green in the wind, and this design has the same easy, sun-warmed calm. It is subtle enough to fit almost any kitchen. Set a bubbling pan of tomato sauce on it and it feels completely at home.
The design
A gently curving branch carries green and deep plum-black olives among slim, silvery-green leaves. The watercolour is loose and light, with soft edges and a few fine veins. The ground is a warm ivory that flatters wood and stone.
