I have some friends who wake up and drink their coffee looking at this pond every morning. How great is that? It's so quiet and removed from the rush of life...
When I was up in the Chicago area a couple weeks ago, I added a leg to Minnesota to visit my college roommate on her farm. I was unable to paint while there, but did take some pictures. This is one of many pastures in their beautiful rolling hillside. I must go back and bring a few supplies next time!
