'One Evening in June'

 
I've been trying to get out to the fields as often as I can

right now as they will be haying soon. As well

the light early and late is really fantastic in mid June.

This one was painted yesterday evening and while

I worked I was reminded of the fields around where

I spent most of my childhood. This is a very

important time of year for someone very special to me,

my little sister. Her birthday is tomorrow and I was

thinking about the old days back in Concord, Ontario.

Our place was surrounded by farm fields and small

woodlots and we used to go back in the fields for miles

as if they were our own. We had names for certain

trees and other natural landmarks. I guess, though

we may end up far from where we begin

somehow we really never leave...

Happy Birthday Lisa!!
