Serenity Now

Red Barn with Sheep

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.
