Red Barn and the Chickens

I still hold onto this painting and treasure it with warm memories. It has so many memories for me. It has a good home in Pennsylvania. I think about Pete often and seeing him and meeting him at many of the local art shows. He encouraged me so much. I am forever grateful for his passion towards me and my work. It’s one of those things that is worth hanging on to for reflection. I wonder where the time went? I still miss him and the excitement to see him at a show and photograph his new paintings. He was always so happy for me whenever I won a ribbon at a show too! I remember the Christmas that my Mom gave this painting to me. She is gone now and I treasure the memories.
