Perfectly Split
Original Acrylic by Amy Boardman

Dimensions:
Painting: 10" × 10"
Framed: Floater frame (color options: black, natural, or brown stain)

Description:
In Perfectly Split, the simple beauty of everyday life is celebrated through the rich greens of a halved avocado, its bold seed pod resting against the cheerful contrast of a red-and-white checkered tablecloth. Inspired by one of my favorite fulfilling snacks—avocado toast sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning—this painting captures the savory satisfaction and quiet joy found in life’s simple pleasures.

The avocado seed, a reminder of God’s design for growth and nourishment, echoes the promise of His Word: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree” (Matthew 13:31–32).

This original acrylic painting embodies gratitude for provision, the beauty of creation, and the sustaining joy of God’s daily blessings.

Presentation:
Framed in a floater frame with your choice of black, natural, or brown stain.
Please note: The frame shown in the photos is for mockup display only. The actual floater frame will be similar in style to those shown.
