We live in a laid back part of Summit County called The South Forty and we have a collection of wonderful, and eccentric, neighbors. The kind of neighbors that mind their own business until you need help and then they magically appear. Our neighbor across the street lives right on the Blue River and for years battled his indigenous neighbors, the beaver family. The prodigious damn, dam building furry family was putting his land under water. He would tear down their dams just to find them rebuilt the next day. He now lives peacefully with the creatures and has set up a wrought iron bench by the ponds to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet as he feeds the fish that populate his "private ponds". Hope you enjoyed your day as much as I enjoyed painting this scene. Arrivederci my Little Gems art fans!
