Limon, Mango, Sandia, Sueños

"Lemon, Mango, Watermelon, Dreams" — a vibrant celebration of the fruit vendors who color Los Angeles streets and the dreams that keep us going. This piece is from "Francisco's Fresh Paintings," my mobile art cart project where I sold paintings alongside fruit vendors, honoring their entrepreneurial spirit.

The gradient background flows from sunny yellow to mango orange to watermelon red to lime green—the colors of fresh fruit, of summer days, of street corners alive with commerce and community. The hand-lettered text mimics fruit vendor signs, while painted fruits dance around the edges like memories of childhood treats.

"Sueños" (dreams) completes the list because fruit vendors aren't just selling produce—they're selling hope, working toward dreams, building futures for their families. This painting bridges my two formative experiences: growing up around street vendors in East L.A. and my career as a fine artist.
