A six-year-old friend drew this picture for me.  He had just seen my Farm Stand Fresh cookbook and loves to draw and paint fruits and vegetables, too.  You can see my paintings for the Farm Stand Fresh cookbook at farmstandfreshcookbook.com.  You can also buy the cookbook there. My friend's name is Grey.  Can find his name in the drawing?

I drew this White-faced Monkey while I was on a river boat in Costa Rica.  There were many monkeys moving around in a stand of trees, including a baby on its mother's back.  This monkey stayed still for a few seconds and I was able to draw it.

When Pony Pal, Lily, saw a copy of the Farm Stand Fresh cookbook that I illustrated, she recognized my name.  "That's the author of the Pony Pals," she exclaimed.  So her grandfather brought her to The South Street gallery to meet me.  She came in while I was taking down the show.  Those orange dots show some of the oil paintings that were sold.  I gave Lily an autographed copy of Ava Tree and the Wishes Three.  We had a fun visit and I learned that Lily is a serious figure skater who loves reading.  She is working at a library this summer. I was a little sad taking down the show, but meeting a Pony Pal definitely cheered me up.

Today - July 1 -  is the last day of the Farm Stand Fresh art exhibition at The South Street Gallery in Greenport. Eleven oil paintings and two intaglio prints from my Vineyard Series are now in private collections.  It was fun to have an art show and see 41 of my Farm Stand Fresh paintings in one room. Visit farmstandfreshcookbook.com to learn more about the Farm Stand Fresh cookbook, to order copies of the cookbook, and follow the Farm Stand Fresh food blog.
