I lived in the flat lands of Southeast Missouri for 12 years and when my husband and I moved back to California we chose to move to the northern part of the state. We are in what is called the "Gold Country" due to the Gold Rush started right here at Sutter's Mill. The change of scenery is amazing from the flat lands to the hills and mountains that reach high into the sky. There are also rocks here and lots of them, a big no-no for farm land. Here the land is cattle country and during those early years rocks were stacked and stacked upon one another to form fencing to hold the cattle and horses that must of roamed the hills but were corralled to certain owned acreage with miles and miles of rock fencing. The rock fences stand today and they are really works of art with natures colorful beauty shining through. Traveling the hills of Sutter Creek made for, "A Painting Day".

Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse et je suis aujourd'hui encore très admirative devant votre oeuvre. Belles couleurs qui donnent une certaine puissance à votre toile.
Votre région doit être bien belle... Bises et à très bientôt.
Martinealison, De remerciement autant de pour votre commentaire. Le secteur ici dans les contreforts de Crique de Sutter est très bel et c'est amusant pour sortir du studio et prend le défi pour peindre les vieilles villes et le paysage.
I like the bold brush strokes and subtle colors in this painting.
This is very beautiful. I love the soft muted colors you used in this painting.
This is so lovely, Ruth!
I like every thing about this: the grays, the composition, the loose brush strokes.
