Here&#8217;s my favorite. Both are 24&#8243; x 48&#8243; and will live their lives right here on this lovely bit of nature called&nbsp;Nasse&#8217;s Prairie on Whidbey Island, Washington. Part of the Whidbey Island Land Trust&#8217;s rather heroic efforts to restore this bit of natural prairie on the Admiralty Inlet Natural Area Preserve where some extremely rare flowers live. In fact, golden paintbrush is here and is only found in twelve places, two right here on this prairie. The original painting is 24&#8243; x 48&#8243;, acrylic on hardboard. Thanks, everyone at the Land Trust, but especially Mark, who helped me in delightful ways and never once got &#8216;postal&#8217; on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"847\" src=\"https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nancy-1024x847.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nancy-1024x847.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nancy-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nancy-768x635.jpg 768w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nancy.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">And here&#8217;s Nancy with her pack full of camera gear taking the reference photos for this painting.
