The almond is the first tree to bloom in Provence. By the second week of February, sometimes earlier or a few days late, the orchards on the Valensole plateau turn pale pink while the lavender rows beside them are still dormant ribs of grey. The trees flower on bare wood, before any leaves. Van Gogh painted them in February of 1890, in Saint-Rémy, as a gift for his nephew, born that January. The bloom lasts a fortnight. Locals know the week and don't say much about it.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
