Grant Farms Revisited


I just finished this pastel painting, I started last summer... of the business, Grant Family Farms in Cheyenne. The great spring weather we have been having in Cheyenne is making me think of planting flowers in my back yard and working in my garden. But it's too early to plant here... so I finished (or for the most part finished) my garden painting of Grant Farms! It has taken me months to once again get emotionally involved with this painting.  I don't know why I have a hard time finishing a painting once that time of year is over? Seems to me,  I tend to paint in anticipation for the season or an appreciation of the season that I am experiencing?  Do any of you ever postpone a piece of work for months, even though you have a photograph... just waiting for those colors of that day to once again become vivid in your minds eye? 

Grant Family Farm is such a wonderful inspiration for art.  I'm giving you their link, but it is so much better to go and experience it in person!   http://www.grantfarms.com/index.cfm
