Christmas gift paintings this year were imagined old fruit crate labels based on our family’s prune farm heritage.
The Orange Truck Brand label commemorates our orchard truck, which was a cut-down 1937 Dodge van that had originally been a delivery vehicle for Galleon Laundry in San Francisco.
The Taeuffer Family Brand label commemorates my father’s least-favorite farming chore: pickin’ them prunes.
I hope my sisters like their gift paintings.
