Farm Painting: Icehouse

Subject: Farm Painting
It was some time ago that I made a habit of exhibiting in the Western Art Show in Ellensburg WA.   On one occasion, before the show opened in the morning, I drove around the outskirts of town, looking for some good subjects.  I found a very tidy little farm with a herd of cattle.  I was met on the doorstep by Mr. Strong the owner of the property and had a good conversation, in which he told me that he had just turned 90.  But he was still doing all the farming and tending his herd.  Quite amazing.  I've done several paintings of his place: this painting is of his icehouse.
