I painted this quiet landscape after taking a quick photo on my phone of these horses grazing with the evening pinks in the background.
Looking east from Norwood, you can see the snowcapped mountains beyond Telluride, while the sun was setting behind me over the La Sals.
Norwood sits on a mesa between the two, and I’m constantly inspired by the way the light moves across this landscape. This painting is my attempt to capture one of those simple fleeting moments—the horses, the open fields, the mountains in the distance, and that soft evening glow.
This is one of my personal favorites.

I this piece I explore the contrast between stillness and movement—capturing Hancock’s quiet concentration through a calm, focused composition, while expressive brushwork creates a sense of rhythm and motion.

Album Background
"Daydreaming Music Fiend" marks the debut album of Brendan Forrest, a project initiated in the Summer of 2022. Brendan — along with long-time friends and fellow musicians Andrew Vogt and Patrik Ahlberg — traveled from Chicago to Nashville to commence recording.
Forrest collaborated with some of the industry's notable talents for this album. He recruited Dominick Leslie, a mandolinist celebrated for his work on Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway's 2023 Grammy-winning 'Best Bluegrass Album.' Additionally, the album features contributions from International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) award recipients Jake Stargel, a guitarist, and George Jackson, an Australian fiddler acclaimed in the bluegrass scene.
Post-production saw the involvement of Andy Shoemaker, a Grammy-nominated professional from Rax Trax Recording, who was responsible for mixing and mastering the album.
"Daydreaming Music Fiend" is the culmination of Forrest's creative vision and collaborative efforts with some of the most respected artists in the bluegrass genre. This album embarks a new chapter in Brendan’s 20-year music career, pursuing his lifelong passion for Folk Americana and Bluegrass.
