Notes
signed lower right; bears title and date on gallery label verso; framed with archival mat

Reference
recollections from the owners of Cloudy Ridge Ranch attached verso stating 'One of our followers shared this painting from an art auction. Doris McCarthy stayed with us for awhile in 2003. All of her works are amazing, but this one is particularly applicable right now. The whole mountain side burned in September and won't look like this again in our lifetime.
Doris was quite the character even at 92. After her afternoon painting session [during which she often fell asleep in her chair] she would come back inside and set up a game of scrabble. She played against herself, and had a different glass of scotch at each seat [scotch neat, scotch on the rocks, scotch and water, etc.]. She would get up and move to the next seat as the turns went and even though we offered her our spinning Scrabble board, she shunned it for the traditional upside-down play.
We are so fortunate to have had such a talented artist immortalize our home in art. As I'm sitting here writing this at the top of the same hill she would have been sitting on painting, I can't help appreciate that she took very little artistic license [except to remove some, okay a lot, of compulsory farmyard junk] and has represented the yard exactly as is.'
