Back to the Apple Farm in the Anderson Valley and another piece of farmyard activity, this time with the ever hungry bunny rabbit. To be honest, these beds had artistically designed tents over each and every one, but I couldn't imagine painting them in. Subsequently, this little fella will be having a field day, won't he? Nothing sweeter this time of year than thoughts of Spring planting and being out of doors, especially on a day like today when the rain is coming down in buckets. Happy to be inside, but love dreaming about Spring just the same.

This palette knife painting was done as a result of a delightful visit to 'The Apple Farm' in Philo in the Anderson Valley. That is one fabulous property to romp around on, but you should also check out all the neat stuff they do there with cooking classes besides all the yummy treats they sell. It has that wonderful country farm feeling and you can wait on yourself by putting your money in the box if no one is around. I painted a scene of a little red cottage one day while I was there with a friend and then took a bunch of photos. Chickens in motion are difficult to capture 'en plein air', so thank goodness for cameras and cozy art studios.

Note: concerning "Island Sundown" that I posted last week; I revised a section of the painting and it is now much improved. You can view the changes at http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/43538 Let me know if you can see what I did!
