| Artist: Lowell Herrero |
| Profile: Tucked away at his studio in the hills above the Napa Valley, north of San Francisco, is where Lowell Herrero can be found on almost any given day. It is here that the ever-smiling Herrero is gradually completing his transformation from self-professed "city boy" to "gentleman farmer."
Two years ago, Herrero settled into his new studio that also serves as a farm. Always delighted by rural scenery, it was a natural fit for Herrero to paint from a setting that was reminiscent of his paintings. In fact, Herrero is now a happy participant in the joy and humor of life's everyday moments that are so often captured in his paintings.
"People often ask where I get my ideas. All kinds of places, actually: from friends, from pictures I see, from museum exhibits, from books. But when you get right down to it, most of my paintings come from what I see when I travel. And I travel a lot!
I do feel that I am so fortunate to practically have two professions now both as artist and farmer. Both my wife and I are truly blessed. I wish the same for you and your families!" |
