The scene is from an elevated stance overlooking God's beautiful creation at sunset. An early evening fog meanders it's way through the hills. If the viewer can imagine themselves into this scene, they would sense the calmness of nature and enjoy the solitude and breathe in the fresh country air. They might smell the sweet scent of wildflowers growing effortlessly at their feet and watch the sun's glow move slowly across the horizon. ~ Enjoy!
"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no language, where their voice is not heard...In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun. Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof." ~ Psalm 19:1-6.

I painted this painting because this scene reminded me somewhat of our journey through this life. You can't see around the next bend. There are fences up sometimes. We're enclosed by circumstances bigger than our selves. There are bumps, rocks, and sometimes the way seems uphill all the way. This reminds me that God is ultimately in control and we are to so totally trust Him. Our part is to keep walking on, keep trusting Him, keep following the path, and to enjoy the journey. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed painting it! ~ Connie

I love the country so much! I guess that's why I paint it often. I've had people who have bought my paintings, that after a busy day in the city, with all the traffic, smells, smog, and noise, they love when they come home to imagine themselves into the painting they bought. A scene of nature, where there is peace and.....fresh country air. ~ Enjoy!
