Zea mays.  Oaxacan Green variety.  This heirloom corn has been traced back to the Ben 'Zaa (meaning Cloud People) (so-called Zapotec) culture of present-day Mexico.  Ben 'Zaa people historically lived (and grew their food) in the Mountainous regions of Oaxaca since as early as 500 BC.
 
Original painting from the Ephemera calendar series (2016-2018).  Black walnut ink and pen on paper.  Approx 9.5 " x 12.5".
 
For a limited time!!!  WHOLESALE FRAME OPTION:
If you would like to upgrade your purchase to the framed piece, for a limited time I'll be offering a flat 80$ framing fee.  This is a wholesale framing price; I will use my local framer's chop shop for artists to frame the work for you before shipping.  After adding this painting to your cart, find the "80$ Frame" item in my shop, and add to your cart.  
 
If you do not elect the 80$ frame option, piece will ship flat, unframed, between board.
