I have driven by this property many times, stopped a couple of times, and finally got permission to paint there. The owners are very pleasant people. On the morning I did this sketch, it was sunny but chilly with gusting winds. I took many photos and with them and this sketch, I intend to do a large studio work later. Well, Christmas is near, my terrible cold is starting to ease a bit, and I think I'll take a week or so off. Wish you all a happy holiday season! Let us hope that next year is better than 2011 and that we are all healthy and happy throughout it. Mike
