"Winter Walk On The Farm" was auctioned at the annual Chesterfield Arts Art Feast Saturday evening, January 24. I was quite pleased to donate this piece to raise money for Chesterfield Arts.I'm also pleased to learn that Debbie Shaw-Franke, daughter of good friend Tom Shaw Sr., has been named president of Chesterfield Arts.
"Now I really FEEL the landscape, I can be bold and include every tone of blue and pink: it's enchanting, it's delicious." -- Claude Monet
SIDE NOTE: I look at "Winter Walk On The Farm" as a testimonial to an often unnoticed and disappearing scene in Chesterfield - farm fields. I especially remember "riding to the hounds" (foxhunting) with my Chesterfield friends. We galloped hard and fast, flying over stone walls between farms. "Field jumping" a horse is the closest a person can come to FLYING! Crisp, fall air that is sweet to breath, hounds baying, and an exhilarating ride aboard a good horse. Doesn't get any better than that!
The Kemp Auto Museum is an interesting place, if you get into Mercedes and the like. Great place to hold a fundraiser.
