Puddles

Jo and her dad walked quite a few miles when they were stuck in the mud at the ranch in New Mexico.  Her dad would say, "We'll take it easy today and ride in the pickup," then get stuck in a mud puddle.  This would require digging or walking home to get the horses.   This painting brought back those memories.  Pastels bring out the rich colors in the wet forest near her present home.

Framed in a dark mahogany 3 inch frame.  At the Lost Pines Art Center in Bastrop, Texas.
