Shepherds of the Forest

I met the Shepherds of the Forests this week at my Fair Oaks painting residency. There is a new lane I discovered that runs between Fair Oaks and the neighbor's land. Both sides of the lane are lined with ancient trees. They are deep and wise souls and I can feel the hair stand up on the back of my head as I drive slowly between them. They are speaking, if only I could understand their language. What a fantastic experience!!
