"Indian Summer"
14"x18"  Oil on Canvas
Last fall I took a walk before sunset over the farmland where I 
trail ride with my friends at a local Horse School.  This scene 
is where a tractor enters the maple forest for collecting syrup in
late winter and early spring. The trees should be nearing time
for tapping, now. But its been a heck of a cold winter, maybe the 
reason for a beautiful fall?
