| 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!" |
