Description

I got the idea for this oil painting from a little old English postcard that my dear grandmother gave me one day many years ago while she was teaching me how to do watercolor painting.

I wish she could have seen that many years later I learned how to do oil painting also, and chose to paint this scene from the little old English postcard that she had given me years earlier...

I know how proud she would have been if she could have seen this oil painting, because one of the themes that was dear to her own heart was about living together in peace and harmony... just as you see God's heart expressed in the beauty of His creatures here living together in peace and harmony.♥
