Cassy welcomed her newest Collectors Jeff and Christina to her studio for a special unveiling and surprise celebration! In March, Jeff commissioned Cassy to create an original painting of C Lazy U Ranch, where their family has often traveled to enjoy memorable vacations trail riding the western landscape. The painting was created in honor of the couple’s 15th wedding anniversary. Christina has followed Cassy’s work for many years and expressed a wish to someday have her own Cassy Tully original painting, so Jeff felt this was the ideal time to surprise her.
Once In a Lifetime features Cassy’s signature relief-painting technique, with acrylic gel mediums blended into a panoramic composition. Wildflowers and rustic trees have glittering glass beads, with the rugged mountains and clear, running water blended into a tranquil setting. Cassy’s affection for horses and landscape come to life, as each horse is painted in great detail to represent the horses the family rides and bonds with at the ranch.
“It was a treasured moment that was made more special by Jeff’s wish to honor their family and marriage in such a memorable way,” Cassy said.
Although this painting could be painted only once in a lifetime, the memories live on as their new masterpiece now hangs in a place of honor above their mantel.
