Introducing the series Road Trip 2007

My cousin and I have traveled life together since we were children. We spent summers on her parents ranch where we ran barefoot in the sun, shared all our secrets and giggled under the covers at night until our mothers told us to hush up and go to sleep. They were still telling us the same thing to our teenage years. And so it continues. She has just returned from a trip to the East Coast, cross country from ocean to ocean and I have "traveled" with her via e-mail and photos. I would like to share her trip with you as she shared it with me. I hope you will enjoy my paintings of the Road Trip With GG as much as I have. Yes, we still share our secrets and giggle into the night. Some things will never change.

HOMEWARD BOUND



This is the first painting in a new series called Road Trip 2007. My paintings and the accompanying stories will follow my cousin GGs travels across America this summer.

HOMEWARD BOUND
During a visit to the Gettysburg battlefield I turned to look across an open field to see a group of cows grazing framed by shrubby trees along the fence line. I aimed the camera to catch them when suddenly all of the cows looked up and turned to look toward the south. They all began moving toward a man that came into sight with a walking stick. This was an even better picture. I took several shots and on the last perfect one he turned his head and looked at me across the fields before taking his cattle home. I wonder if he smiled for the camera.

This 5"x7" oil on gesso board unframed is for sale for $99.00 - postage prepaid.
