I had recently returned from a trip to Italy and my mind was filled with many images of the olive groves in Tuscany.  When this happens to me,  I fall asleep at night and dream that I am painting in full color. This painting was done as a result of one of my dreams.

I used to drive to UNH every Friday to pick up my son when he was back in college. I always took a shortcut down this country road. There is a large farm on the way with a large grove of trees in front along the road. I had a very pleasant dream the other night, that I was going to get my son and those trees appeared. This is how they looked in my dream.
