Grinding The Argan Nut

I hope to add watercolor after the grandsons head for bed. Here is a widowed or divorced woman, living high in the Atlas Mountains outside of Marrakech, Morocco.  She is grinding the Argan nuts into oil that will be used for all sorts of nutritional and beauty products. 


Hopefully, to be continued later today.....



My grandson Caleb thinks it's interesting the Moroccan woman is grinding nuts on the floor with some of the equipment on a rock.

    Thanks for sharing your artwork, which is lovely! I'm just starting to look at your blog, but it sounds as if you had a wonderful experience in Morocco. I've been once and would like to go again someday, enshallah!
