Love it and the picture. Reminds me of Eddie Rabbitt - Rocky Mountain Music 1977. I was 22 yrs old. Your picture also reminds me of the creek out behind the property I live on. It floods almost every year. Not this year,there is a drought in calf. this year :)

This is quite evocative work! I didn't know you had been to Kentucky. I like to watch the Derby on TV and always like to hear the band play "My Old Kentucky Home". Peace & Love Matthew Anish

I am all for the lush tranquilness. But being from Minnesota, all I see is humidity and mosquito's. How's that for being a Dougy downer. :) All that aside, I did a lot of growing up on those backroads.

A place of peace is always a good thing. You are really something, and I say that because you are creative and constant. This is a combination that enriches all of us.
