About The Artwork

When someone can draw and is correspondingly familiar with his or her subject matter, the result draws you into a scene where you can escape from your particular reality. This well-drawn image beckons the viewer to walk the "S" shaped lane up toward the house, in order to get a better look. The gate has seen better days, as has some of the fencing, but it was a resourceful human who configured all of this to help manage their livestock and to define their property lines.
