Trail Folk

It’s the last day of January and I decided to celebrate by setting up my neglected studio and forcing my tolerant and fun-loving partner Mark to model for me.  Mark grew up on the prairies of Saskatchewan, on an acreage with a small herd of cattle, dairy cows and horses (not to mention chickens, ducks and sheep) outside the town of Dalmeny.   He has lots of natural character and I love…
