Down from the mountain is a Cottonwood canopy, that shades the beautiful souls of horses and mules who await the upcoming season where they will work at the pack station. They rest, eat, and play under the trees freely until they are guided back to the majestic trails once again. I found peace while visiting the herd and observing them on one beautiful sunny day and knew I wanted to paint this feeling to share with others.
