The Vacant Ranch
This is the garden that didn't get weeded while we were away this summer. It takes me a bit of painting and wiping off the canvas to realize that I want a main character out of this big tangle of many. So I choose the gone to seed chives.
It is almost like I am painting nothing because the seed pods are so small and are on tiny stems which form the ball of chive seeds. Fireworks of dotted spheres. This painting has the feeling of a full and lively world of airy unsubstantialness except for the serious tiny, seeds, ladybug and flying insects.
