Mi Rancho

Wet pastels, 20" x 15"

Afternoon of 2 august, 2009, while we drove down Loon Lake Road, (southeast of Merritt), literally in the middle of nowhere was this mesmerizing abandoned ranch. Am sure, most of us have experienced places/locations that completely enthrall our entire beings. Well, this ranch did it me, it's charm and bewitching setting made me so restless, I just had to paint. Still very much spellbound. Truely a very special place .... surrounded by birch trees it is overlooking a pond, which may have been a larger body of water in years gone by. What a wonderful retreat for an artist for summer (after some fixing up with loving care).
