RHUBARB STARTING - painting for conservation

[Aleta Karstad]

“Rhubarb Starting” (oil on canvas  20 x 16 in.) 

Now available - a Karstad for the collectors! One of the series of spring Rhubarb painted en plein air in our garden over the course of a decade, has returned to me. It was painted in 2009, and I’m still proud of it! I am asking $800, framed, to a good home.

You can see a larger image, and read about my spring ritual of sitting in the Rhubarb patch to paint - and how Rhubarb gets the special energy that allows it to sprout before anything else could survive so,
