One
of my all-time favorite authors is James Herriot, DVM. In fact, I’ve got a
collection of his hardcover books in my library and take the online versions
with me on my Kindle! Through his books, he shared glimpses of his life as a
country vet traipsing around the rolling hills and moors of Yorkshire County,
England – from lambing times in freezing blizzards to walking his beloved dogs
on warm, emerald-colored days. A masterful storyteller, he wove
wonderful stories both of life with his family and of his many encounters with
the people and their farm animals and pets.
It’s heartwarming reading!
This
week’s painting, Heatherland, 10” x 15” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, reminds me
of those wind-swept landscapes with sheep on the highlands and the heather in bloom.
