Country Home

11x14 oil

 Day 12, 30 in 30 

This red country home and  surrounding acreage belong to our Sons best friend Russell, and his wife Laurie.

It sits on a hilltop with incredible 360 view for miles in NW Arkansas.

He and our son are both hero's in my book. Our Son is a Paramedic, Engineer/Firefighter.

Russell is also a firefighter and they worked together for several yrs. at a local FD.

While our Son moved to a different FD here in  

NW Arkansas, they remain great friends.

Recently, while at his home,. I realized I just had to paint their home and setting.

I gifted this to them just last week.:)

I would love to hear from you, and welcome your comments....Leslie
