We sold the family farm in Colorado. Bittersweet because we have so many fond memories of spending time there, but because of distance it became too much to take care of. Nearby ranchers bought our property, so it’s in good hands.

The Farm • Acrylic on canvas • 36” x 48”

Most of this piece is from memory. The view faces west. Out on the plains towards eastern Colorado.

The house, well, granary, chicken coup, outhouse, pigeon coup, fuel tank, raccoon pen, sheep pen, barn, pond and fields. There’s my grandpa feeding the cattle from the bed of his truck.

And the sky really is that blue.
