"Nestle Up" NFS

6 x 6 oil on canvas panel
i stopped at two different farmer's markets yesterday on my way home with the kiddoes - the first was down on second street - daily's market - they had the friskiest golden retriever - my grands were in heaven - chasing him - being chased back - i found this very unique-looking eggplant - (the one on the right) - and i also bought some zepher (?) squash which we grilled up tonight - scrumptious!! - after that we stopped at the moses' stand on 8th and washington - another great place - with even more things - i bought farm-raised eggs and a free-range chicken along with a bunch of other stuff and the eggplant on the left. i also bought some sunflowers - fading, i'm afraid, and i didn't get to them today so i took a couple pics and hopefullly i can paint them tomorrow. after golf today i picked up ollie. he played a bit of wii while i got started painting and then he decided he wanted to paint along with me - he did a wonderful piece ( he's three) - and then headed back to the basement for more wii. we finished off the day by playing 9 holes of wii golf - i squeaked by him...but only just barely.. i am one lucky lady...
...as a post note...i've donated this painting to our local volunteer fire department. a very worthy cause!
