50 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | DECEMBER 2023
This is the perspective of the
artist of the month, Diane Gray.
"This painting is an homage to
my family. This scene took place 78 years
ago. My grandpa owned a fruit orchard in
Cherry Valley and it was a family affair when
it came time to pack up the fruit to bring to
market. It's sad that family orchards have all
but disappeared from our area. I wanted to
preserve in a painting, a little of the magic
I experienced as a child, playing in the
orchard under dappled sunlight and fruit
laden trees.
