This field sweeps down to Davis Bay on Lopez Island and enjoys one of the most spectacular views over the Straits of Juan De Fuca to the distant Olympic Mountains, I have ever seen. The quietude here never fails to amaze me, almost as much as the sheer beauty of this place. Having been raised in Idaho, with a reverence for barns, they are second only to water-in-motion as my preferred painting subjects. This one, belonging to Dick and Kathy Lea, (Rocky R Ranch) has been around for more than a century!
