The artist was legally blind when he painted this. He was inspired by his memories of a trip to England to visit the home of British Classical Composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams whose music he always loved. Vaughan Willaims’ home was surrounded by grazing sheep as the artist tries to capture the pastoral and spiritual nature of Vaughan Williams music and environment.

The artist writes:

“Approach the music of Vaughan Williams

as if you were a young child

listening to a wise old soul

speaking of sacred things”
