The field at the end of Harley street has been preserved thanks to some intrepid locals who fought for it, including a woman named Cynthia I chatted with one day while painting here. Today I did some paintings in the area, this one shows a turquoise painted planter box in the foreground with beans, and other boxes strewn about the garden area.

Another 'in the field' installment... people keep putting chairs, and now benches in the field. These ones are off to the side near the fence under the trees. Instead of re-arranging the chair, either physically or artistically, I painted them just as they were. The blue chair was prominent in the middle, with the black pleather chair just behind it, an office chair to the right, and two flanking benches. It was a lot of brushwork for this one, but I have more time off from work and can continue to paint more or less full time for a little while longer.

Turning to Raffi auto, I painted a scene of the garage door open and a car inside being worked on. The car in the foreground almost looks perfect, just the back end is mashed like a potato. I guess it needs some body work in the auto shop too! A mechanic stood near the door talking on a phone, perhaps it was Raffi.
