Mickey Murch, Proprietor, Gospel Flat Farm and Farmstand, Bolinas, CA |
The artists had a wonderful day visiting Bolinas, California and the farm and farmstand of
Gospel Flat Farm.
Proprietor, Mickey Murch, and his extended family were on hand to greet
artists as they were picking produce and bringing it directly to the 24
hour farm stand. Behind the farmstand is a gallery; the art space hosts a variety of artists, ranging from baby
music classes to gourmet dinners and progressive art exhibits.

The fog cleared to reveal Bolinas Ridge in the back ground and a sunny and bright glow of colored stripes emerged in the fields. Thank you to the Murch family for letting us enjoy this amazing day with you!
This was the greatest attendance day of "Art on the Farm" artists in recent history, and there were several new artists from the North Bay Plein Air group on site as well. A few in attendance were Larry Bryson, Donna Solin, Catherine Moreno, Diane Lewis Hull and her husband, Mark Monsarrat, Catherine Fasciato, Daphne Wallace Gerlach and many more. Here are a few photos of the day, with more to come!
