Sheepwagon in a Morning Storm

Copyright (c) 1995 by Patricia Mae Young

Sheepherder's wagons --- called "sheepwagons" by everyone --- are still used by the Basque Sheepherders to live in while they herd sheep in the high country. This wagon has been retired to Marilyn's benchland where it serves as a weekend retreat for friends, and the focus of a once-a-year, period-dress, catered gourmet feast! The entire Sawtooth Valley and most of the Sawtooth Range is visible from the wagon's door. Waking up to morning fog or a storm raging against the mountains is an artist's --- and a Magpie's --- dream.

Medium: Pastel. Size: 28x36 (in) 62x80 (cm)
