A wedding in central Washington State gave me a wonderful opportunity to renew long term friendships and paint.
I so enjoyed the hospitality of the Berryman’s and staying at their ranch. As an artist, catching that great light in the morning and evening is so much easier if you are waking up and going to bed amidst the beautiful scenery. I painted Truman, the horse, one morning at 7am and these charming cows were painted on another evening.
If I ever have the chance to stay at Berryman Ranch again, I may take John Berryman up on his advice to paint the cows with a setup right in the pasture. I have no doubt about his prediction that the cows would come right up to inspect my work. Now there’s pressure.
