Salad Days

Lettuce In Wooden Bowl,  6 x 6 " oil on panel, ©2014, Fay Terry

I planted lettuce seeds and hope to have a good crop of salad greens in about forty days. This painting was done from a photo of our lettuce several years ago. Did you know that the common name for arugula is salad rocket? By either name it is one of my favorite salad greens.

Hope you had a great week end and thanks for looking at my art.

Some of you may remember the painting of the baby lettuce

plants.  I am happy to report that their beautiful green-ness

provided me with another painting-op today.  It rained most of the day

with intermittent bursts of sunshine, at which time I picked lots of lettuce.
This was really fun to paint.

This lettuce was started in the house

in little peat pots.  It is ready for

the garden and has now been planted between

two sections of beets.  I love the name of

the lettuce-it is called "Black-Seeded Simpson"

and it's the kind my dad always grew in our garden.
