+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"Far beyond America’s great cities, beyond the suburbs and the super
highways, the majesty of America’s verdant countryside is still alive
and well. In the country, wildflowers grow in profusion. To me, these
bluebonnets, scotch broom and wild poppies symbolize the abundant
blessings of Country Living; these are the tangible pleasures that
surround you day in and day out where the air is pure and the sun is
bright. This scene might be found any place where the hills and
valleys are alive with nature’s harmony — the Texas hill country, the
Smoky Mountains, the rolling Cascades, or even my native Sierra
foothills.
Country Living takes us to a perfect day for celebrating nature's
goodness. The white-tailed deer and ring-necked pheasant remind us of
the region's abundant wildlife. A vintage Ford truck, inspired by the
battered pick-up that was my family's transportation growing up,
stands silently beside the rustic farmhouse and the ever-present barn.
This painting is for all those who long for Country Living."
~~Thomas Kinkade
