This linocut titled, “Theobroma cacao” was designed and printed especially for the Chocopalooza Festival at Adrian High School. Adrian High School alumni teamed up to exhibit artwork to be auctioned off during the event. All proceeds will go towards the Adrian Public Schools.
I plan to water color this over the weekend and have a finished piece by Monday.
“Theobroma cacao” is the latin name for the Cocoa Tree. If you are familiar with cocoa trees you’ll notice the flowers are about 10 x their normal size. That’s called artistic license. I love the flowers on this tree and wanted to show them in more detail than I could if I put them in proportionally. Inspiration to do this print came from the Theobroma cacao tree at Hidden Lake Gardens.
