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.
