Farrah
Ferand from
Evening of the Dragonfly recalls an early childhood filled with beauty. She loves the trees that surround the house where she lives and the tree-lined streets of her little town. Since she wants some large paintings for her exhibition, she is working on one now that will take three days to finish. It is an acrylic painting on canvas, 18" x 36". This is the first third of the painting (left side) and will probably change some as the entire work develops.

Before her sister left home when Farrah was seven years old, life was joyful. Farrah would lie down in a field of grass behind the farmhouse and study the sky and the clouds with their ever-changing shapes. Her grandfather would sit with her sometimes and tell her stories about the trees and the little creatures that lived in the forest. It was a beautiful time.
