I came across this pasture somewhere in the countryside near Abilene, Texas, where I live. Wooden gates and fences are not encountered much anymore, replaced by more modern fencing. I was taken in by the vibrant beauty of the grasses and weeds, contrasted with the sun-bleached and decaying wooden fence and gate. Who went through that gate, I wondered? How long ago? Where were they going?

Chances are the pasture was once used for cattle. What brought that enterprise to an end? Was it a tragedy? Did the next generation have loftier plans, abandoning the inherited life of cattle rancher?

The vibrant green and yellows of the weeds and grasses were striking in their contrast to the decaying wood. I was drawn in, and I enjoy reliving what I imagine the past held in this mysterious place every time I look at my painting.

The piece is fitted with a hanging wire. It is a gallery wrapped heavy duty canvas with edges painted in the colors and patterns of the front. It requires no frame. The surface is finished with a UV-resistant acrylic coating. It is signed. Shipping is included.

Limited edition prints are available. Please contact me for more information.

I am a native West Texan. My life began with a very linear-logical interest in science and what it can seem to prove. In my twenties, I attended The University of Texas at Austin and earned a degree in pharmacy.

I am a native West Texan. My life began with a very linear-logical interest in science and what it can seem to prove. In my twenties, I attended The University of Texas at Austin and earned a degree in pharmacy.

During an ensuing 37-year career as a pharmacist, it slowly began to dawn on me that you can't put God in a test tube. I started turning more toward creative endeavors to find meaning.

I had painted all my life because my mother and her sisters always painted when I was growing up, and I did too. My Aunt Patsy Dolliver spent the most time with me, instilling a passion for art and teaching me to paint as we went. I decided to do my best to apply the" let go and let God" to find out what could express through me as art after I retired from pharmacy.

In the past, I had hurriedly and halfheartedly painted, but I took it up again with more surrender and curiosity, and without the feeling of having to rush (without a job taking up so much time).

I became a resident artist at Studio 13 in Abilene, which is a community of resident artists and associate artists whom I love and admire. My new art interests have afforded me a sense of direction, belonging, passion, and satisfaction that I have not previously known.

I feel that I am able to get my personality out of the way most of the time and let the paintings kind of come to be on their own. I don't "know" how to paint. I feel my way into and through each project. There is great satisfaction in getting to participate in that process. I enjoy realism, surrealism, and abstract art--basically anything to do with color.

On August 6, 2018, my Aunt Patsy Dolliver passed away. She signed her paintings "von." That is the first part of our family name, von Roeder. For the rest of my life, I will place von somewhere in each painting to ackowledge the crucial part she played in my passion for art. "A Shady Country Road" and "A Place to Contemplate Memories" are the first into which I added "von."
