work done 2/20/12
close ups
stopped in this morning at the local food cooperative Tidal Creek to get a few things and asked at the juice bar for a couple cups of carrot pulp leftover from what she was fixing for a customer. "a little cucumber and greens", the friendly juicer told me, "are in it."). Mixed this with water & Buckwheat flour (varying dilutions) for pouring line and splattering though out the entire garden tying in all the plant growth and earlier drawing. Other markers were some of the fallen Yellow Jasmine Gelsemium sempervirens flower in the yard and more green/ery with spring growth Chickweed plant Stellaria media growing in one of the fallow raised beds the landowner has. (more on Chickweed as a medicinal and food "weed" soon). Other markers are a tomato top and hand crushed brown & white egg shells from my compost bucket, dried Loquat lf., dried Pineapple Guava lf. and unidentified (the unknown to me) dried grasses and leaves from the yard. Some finger drawing, hose water drawing and shadows as they moved across the garden create more depth. The garden plot wholistically tied in with surrounding brick walkway, lawn and other garden space and the garden soil is enriched by the art work.
As the Sun shadow passes over the garden a new work is described...
& the Mourning Dove returns.
