Annie's Annuals is a nursery in Richmond, CA, that carries a lot of flowering annuals.  I went there with a group of painters on a cloudy day to paint.  All of us chose different views.  I liked the arched trellis and rock walls near the entrance.  Painting a profusion of foliage and flowers is a challenge because the result can too easily be a formless riot of visual cacophany.  I concentrated on giving each of the different masses its own character, so the scene would "read" as a garden.

I found Diana via Imitation Fruit where one of her drawings served to illustrate a story. Annie's Annuals has arrived and waits to be framed. Framing it myself allows me to add punctuation, like a period or an exclamation point. When I look at Annie's Annuals my heart beats peacefully. I also bought The Chair from Diana. The Chair was an old friend of hers. It is my new friend. The Chair has it's own story. See Still Life.
