Each of these paintings includes a cozy little house in the distance. On road trips, I have driven past breathtaking views of the beautiful farmland in this country, and from time to time I’ve noticed little houses like this, perched on top of a hill, overlooking lush meadows and fields spread out over the valley like a living quilt, with cool mountains looming in all directions. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to live in one of those houses and look out on such splendor every day.

I’ve often wondered the same thing. When I was a little girl my Dad and I used to travel all over selling a livestock trailer full of watermelons… On those trips I saw lots of little houses just like that and always said I’d live in one. Here a while back I was browsing on eBay and happened to come across this little farmhouse in the blue ridge sitting on about 10 acres. I couldn’t afford it but it was gorgeous… much like these paintings. 🙂
