Evergreen Watercolor

Evergreen The air was redolent with the scent of evergreens that lined the path to Joey’s old log home. Joseph sitting next to the old wood stove, mending harnesses and sewing patches on anything that needed repair. He glows when he speaks of his farm, his crops and his animals….such pride – they lived in peace and contentment, close to the earth and to God.” Murray would sometimes get caught at the homestead late at night. So as not to impose he would leave, and take a place up in the warm hay loft that would do for the evening. He saw Joey this night come with the last bucket of water for his horses. The moonlight on the snow gave a purple glow, the trees cold and still. This was a painting from memory, not a detailed watercolor, but a meaningful one. What a gift in this cold & silent moment!
