Steinbeck's Pastures

'Steinbeck's Pastures' was painted on location at a spot which was visited by Steinbeck in his early writing days and inspired him to write a short story known as "Pastures of Heaven". I was informed about and directed to this spot by Ron who has lived for decades in the area and has a tender spot in his heart for this particular road. On this occasion, the only company I had was the mooing of distant cows, the songs of quail and raptors flying overhead.
