Description Acrylic on canvas, 16' x 20', July, 2007.
After the trip to France, I more enthused than ever about en plein air painting. My artist friend Vernon Head is an outdoor painter, too, so we started going on outings around Los Gatos, not just sketching but taking paints and easels along. This is a field on St. Josephs Hill; we were up here on a very hot August day, so it was very much a matter of finding a shady spot to paint from. The landscape seemed a little too simple to me, so I went ahead and put in a character who was just about to appear in my novel Hylozoic: a god-like talking pitchfork named Groovy.
When I painted this picture, I was thinking that the pitchfork was going to be evil, even Satanic, but as wrote about him some more, I learned he's a pretty good guy. A Kentucky hillbilly, basically.
