My pastel painting is of some barns and heifers on a farm near here in Susquehanna County. It was developed in the studio working from my memory and my photos. I am pleased with being able to capture the warm overcast atmosphere of a fall morning. I am glad it has been recognized with an award...especially in the light of the other high quality paintings in the exhibit.
