Olives are woven into the landscape of Italy - thriving in the Mediterranean sun, shaping its hillsides, and anchoring centuries of tradition. Italy is one of the world’s great producers of olives and olive oil, second only to Spain, so it feels impossible to paint Italy without painting olives themselves.
Introducing “Olive Oyl,” a playful nod to Popeye’s beloved companion and a tribute to the fruit that defines the Italian countryside.
