Pastorale

This pastoral location on the way to our local bird sanctuary, not 40 minutes distant from Vancouver's city hall, took me back in time. It caught my eye as it gave me a feeling of looking into a classic rural landscape painting. This scene could be a century old or more. The light cast onto the clouds and the pasture, the water reflections; it all gave me a feeling of calm and I hope it feels that way in the finished product. The word Pastorale describes a piece of music having a tender melody and a moderately slow rhythm that suggests shepherds' music and idyllic rural life.
