In the midst of the hustle and bustle of this life, sometimes we need to take a little time to simply enjoy the journey by taking the scenic route. This dirt road in the country is surrounded by the heart of nature. You can almost hear the wind whispering through the trees and feel the sun's radiance on your face. This painting represents serenity for a fleeting moment. The beauty of this pastoral scene reminds us to let go of the past, forget our worries about the future, and embrace the fullness of life as it is happening now. - By Elizabeth Bertrand, Curtis' granddaughter
