A few difficult months have passed since my last blog entry. We lost a beloved family member who up until recently had been in good health for all of her 96 years. She was a testament to the power of eating right and exercising regularly. She also had a great affection for animals and was known to bring vegetable treats to the horses and sheep near her home. She would have loved this painting.
I was far off the beaten path when I discovered this ranch in the Capay Valley. The soft light, the sound of bird song and the scent of spring grasses immediately put my mind at ease. I was in my happy place and inspired to create. Upon seeing this completed work, a friend told me that she was certain her blood pressure dropped 10 points. I hope the serenity of this pastel painting has that effect on everyone who views it.
