For landscape painter Romona Youngquist, nothing is cozier than a bright Oregon morning spent painting in her studio surrounded by her six dogs and a cat, with maybe a rescued baby squirrel or two nestled in a pouch across her chest. Outside, birds are twittering and, from the balcony, she can see the lush, vine-covered hills of the Four Graces winery. In these moments, Youngquist knows she is right at the heart of what matters: “Every morning I wake up excited to paint,” she says. “I am so lucky to be able to do so.”
