This is an original oil painting, signed by Laurel. It is framed in a built-from scratch hand-crafted 22k gold leaf frame, with a patina on the face and hand rubbing on the lip and edging. The sides of the frame are umber, and the outside dimensions of the frame are 24" height x 27" width x 1 1/2" depth. 

I painted this piece plein air in Bellfountain, Oregon. As I worked, a guy on a four-wheeler drove up to see what I was doing. He was the keeper of what I discovered to be a wetland mitigation field. It was very special, because he identified the flowers growing in the field, and told me about the birds too. I loved painting in this place so I came back while the fields were still blooming and painted another larger painting. I was thrilled to learn the flowers filling the field were Oregon Sunshine and Oregon checker-mallow, which are native species.

Our newspapers and television keep giving us the message: What counts is to be known, praised, and admired. Still, real greatness is often hidden, humble, simple, and unobtrusive. It has become difficult to trust ourselves and our actions without public affirmation. We must have strong self-confidence combined with deep humility. Some of the greatest works of art and the most important works of peace were created by people who had no need for the limelight. They knew that what they were doing was their call, and they did it with patience, perseverance, and love. -Henri Nouwen
