"Gaal Shepherd's pastel interpretations of Vermont's peaceful and verdant landscape are beautiful, luminous, and by her own admission and intent, just a bit mysterious.

Herein are reproductions of 26 of them, in every season of the year, along with the artist's essay about why she finds the hills, fields, forests, and people of her adopted state so compelling, and why she wants to share her appreciation of them."
