From up high at the top of the pastures, there is a magnificent overview of the farm, barn, reservoir, and distant hills. This was painted on location there. It was a challenging scene and I almost didn’t take it on, but the view was irresistible.

My sister just sent me this website. Her husband, John Gaudelli, was manager of this farm for almost 30 years for the Benedicts. I am reliving my childhood looking at these pictures as I spent all of my summers with my sister, Sherry, and her husband, John, and two boys.
I can’t tell you how many times I went storming up between these two fences on horseback or just sat in the pasture higher up from this picture and looked at the view with my dreams and thoughts.

Ann, thank you so much for sharing your stories of the farm and your experiences there. It is indeed an amazing view from the top of these pastures. The painting friends I was with thought I was nuts to take on such a challenging scene with the fencing and overview, but it was too beautiful to resist. It was hot, hot, hot too…Thank God for painting umbrellas! I’ve always wanted to do a larger version of this painting. Perhaps now, with your comments, I’ll go back up there with a bigger canvas!

Jamie,
This is definitely my favorite and most memorable picture. I feel like I am 15 again looking at this. I rode a horse named “Redwood” and I would open him up as full as he could go, just to see how fast we could fly up this hill. (Lucky, I’m still alive.)
My husband and I are retired now and living on a semi fixed income. Our son and his family live in Anchorage, Alaska, so any excess funds are spent traveling to see our 2, soon to be 3 grandchildren.
But if I had the means this picture, would be mine. Maybe some day, if it’s still available, it will be.
Hope I haven’t bored you.
