After leaving the Kibbutz, I spent a month and a half working on organic farms in Israel. My favorite farm was in a little settlement called Ezuz in the Negev Desert, where I worked for the Arazuni family. I'll spare the details, and simply say that I can confidently state that my time at Avi's farm was the most peaceful 4 weeks I will ever have in my whole life.
Of course I had to draw a gift for the family upon leaving them. This is Avi and Tamar, the couple that ran the farm and brought life to a beautiful orchard in the middle of a dry wasteland.
You have captured them beautifully
