Monday's Country Back Roads


While driving the country roads over the week end, I saw this pier on a farm stock pond. Wouldn't it be nice to be sitting on that pier, early in the morning, watching the sunrise?

This photo gives you a better perspective of the great outdoors surrounding the stock pond. It is one of the many reasons I love living in this area.


Thoughts of fishing from that pier, brought to mind, a painting I did of my son when he was very young. As a family, we were fishing on the Colorado River. It was such an adorable photo, that I decided to turn it into a painting.

I'm reminded, today, how precious life is.....

  4. You amaze me with your talents--the painting has me speechless thinking of all the memories it has captured. A beautiful setting with the pond; it brought back memories of our property in Connecticut and the serenity it gave me. XOXO
