Title = “Girl with a blue polka dot dress about to eat a banana”
I know it is a tricky title, but I think you can see where it comes from.
That was me trying to be facetious about my very serious banana eaters painting series if you didn’t catch it.
Anyways…
The model for this one was my very own wife.
She finds this series to be a waste of my time mostly I think and constantly makes jokes when I am actually working on it or when she tells people about it.
At first she even would say… “ask him why, it’s very serious,” in an attempt to get me to go off on human engendered fruits, the slow dying off of our beloved Cavendish bananas, How Panama disease, caused by a soil fungus wiped out the Gros Michel variety in the 1950’s, the various types of bananas that actually exist, and … blah blah blah.
I fell for a too a couple times.
Now I just say “No.”
I do however explain that it is a fun project overall and that it borders on the fine line of suggestive yet innocent perfectly.
I also sometimes explain that I use these 100% G rated paintings to catch the eye via that suggestive element and push eating bananas as a healthy yum yum treat.
Our nation (and many others) are committing slow suicide through bad diets.
That is a fact!
Bananas are good tasting, easy to take with because they come with their own wrapper, and store without refrigeration.
They also have five times as much Vitamin A and iron on average than an apple, are loaded with potassium, and increase your energy when your feeling tuckered out.
Did you know that all that potassium helps the body’s circulatory system deliver oxygen to the brain so you will think better while your more energized too?
If that ain’t enough… bananas elevate your mood, protect eyesight, and protect us from unhealthy bacteria infections in our colons.
They are good for ulcers, improve nerve function, reduce stress, and even reduce your chances of dying from a stroke.
Yup good stuff, and I hardly touched the tip of the iceberg on all that bananas can do for your health.
Things like helping with hangovers!
Oh… and for you guys out there, these things help with stamina and erections.
Gotta love that!
