Amish Cowboy


My father is a watercolor painter. Recently a group of Amish families moved into their area. Everybody works hard, and he sketched and painted this 12 year old herding the family cows.
My parents live about 44 miles away from me, about an hour, and I am visiting their farm today.

I like his seascapes.
