Description
***THIS OIL PAINTING IS SOLD***
In the mid south of the U.S. people refer to this as a horseapple, osage orange or hedge apple. It is about the size of a large grapefruit and usually sticky, especially when broken open. The color to the outside surface is always a bright, light green and always catches my eye to paint. The trees were initially brought here to serve the purpose of hedge row fence posts, but escaped and are found widely in the areas of the south. An interesting tree, its bark is a bright orange when peeled away and the color is exposed underneath. They are sometimes used as room deodorizers. The blooms in the spring are insignificant compared to the massive fruit in July.

In Texas we call them bois d'arc. They make for a really interesting and totally cool painting! l/f
Rand Burns replied:
Marsha, yes, I know this term well. They are seldom called bois d'art here, but I have heard it rarely. For some reason they have turned it into Bodock, which I find interesting. Thank you for your comment on this horse apple still life. I love hearing people are familiar with the fruit. Thank you also for the F/L on the work.
