I'm really enjoying this series of the heirloom beans. Tonight's painting is of the seeds as they break the soil and emerge. "Heirloom Beans--Emerging", 6"x6", oil on board, $75. framed.
I worked outside again today. It was beautiful. As an experiment, I'm doing a few straw-bales as the base for some of my vegetables this year. The spot where we have the garden is surrounded by big trees, two maples and a mulberry. The snow knocked down the mulberry tree, so we'll get more sun, but all of the tree roots are really invasive, so I'm excited to try this. The mulberry tree is OK and I'm happy it's down, because now I'll be able to reach the berries to pick them.
Today is day 1 of manuring and watering the bale.
More tomorrow. 'Nite.
