Green Beginnings
Written by Alex Alferov
I just walked away from my Madonna, a winter image bathed in purples and golden greens. The painting was at that stage where I still had a couple of hours before it’s completed. It’s an instinctual thing, a creative hunch.
It usually comes in the late afternoon, a time when I head into the kitchen, open my fridge and figure out what to make for dinner. I’m at a point in my life when vanilla ice cream has been replaced by Brussels sprouts. Good diet advice: Your body can handle only so many Brussels sprouts. With vanilla ice cream, it’s endless.
My culinary adventure suddenly was interrupted by a friendly voice at the door. Helen Leung introduced herself as Hollywood field deputy for Councilman Eric Garcetti, a second-generation Angeleno politician. She handed me a green flier.
