Thanksgiving - A Light Dusting

Thanksgiving - A Light Dusting, Pastel Framed 19.5x21.5
This farm is one which served as model 9 years ago. I did an oil painting of the same farm, surrounded by corn rows accentuated by a light dusting of snow. The piece sold immediately and I have missed the piece ever since.
Problem solved .... This is a new pastel, done the week I spent in Ohio, and celebrates the feeling one might have during the afternoon of Thanksgiving while taking a walk as the turkey bakes and makes the house smell grand, kids in the house tear the place apart, and whistles and cheers and talk of football games on TV add constant background noise to the day.
Escaping all that hustle and bustle, this is the late autumn scene I would like to see while taking time out in the fresh country air.
