Honey Melon (105x150cm; 41'x59')

"Honey melon", written is a common desciption for ripe sweet melon (that's what Arabic script in the painting says). In Jordan, watermelon is everywhere, sold under makeshift tents on every street. A Lebanese business acquaintance recently told me that "the best watermelon comes from Jordan". Up until then I thought Petra and Queen Noor were Jordan's claim to fame.
