Grab your book and a blanket or just sit quietly and wait for a dragonfly to land nearby. The photo this was painted from was taken in Colorado. Talk about a peacerful, serene setting. It's been a long time since I've been to Colorado in the summer - I much prefer it over winter trips. I hope we can go again sometime soon.

I think that's exactly the thought Omar had when he wrote:
Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse - and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness -
And Wilderness is Paradise enow.
. . . . . but of course, that ignores the mosquitoes that the dragon flies are hunting!
I LOVE that verse! I think I will write it on a card and attach it to the back of the painting (but I think I will leave out the mosquito part) :0)
This is a beauty. Your love for the place shines through.

Thank you, Barbara. All the greens were a challenge but I really did try to keep that feeling of peace and closeness of nature.
