I had knee surgery on Friday, went to see Pilobolus at Marin Center on Saturday night, watched the SF Giants beat the Braves today with my family, and finally made it to the easel on Sunday afternoon. The need to paint is great right now, as we have an upcoming, "Art on the Farm" annual show, and I need distraction from my healing knee. This is an image I have wanted to tackle for some time- Bo Draper's Greenhouse in San Anselmo, a third generation, Marin Organic, family farm that is run as a co-operative farm. You can pick your own veggies here, once you become a member. They also have bees and honey. Just down the road from Sorich Park, this is a beautiful, hidden piece of Marin that is much loved by the residents of San Anselmo. Elementary students have been taking field trips to Draper's for years.This painting is just the start- flushing out the bones... the shapes and colors that will add dimension to the final image.
