Our Land

'Pasture in Morning Mist', Alice Kelsey, Pastel

I'm so grateful to live in a place where the land around me inspires my artwork, and touches my soul. As I walked on our fifteen acre farm this morning, as I often do, the frost on the hay field refracted slanty sunrise light, creating zillions of gems. The grass crunched underfoot, a distinctive sound, that recalls Fall and adventure.These 'jewels' are the most valuable of all to me. The pastel in the photo was created after a summer morning walk, looking across our pasture and hay field.
