Takes Notice
"Bay Area Artist Donna J. Covey has created a series of paintings on Suisun Valley. Having grown up in this neighborhood, Donna knows all the good spots and returned to capture the spirit of the valley on canvas. The Vegetable Patch is one of the places that drew her back, knowing that the colors were going to be vibrant and welcoming. She writes about the experience, as inspiration sprang from the unexpected."
