Just before the sun disappears from the deep-blue horizon, all of Pinegrove seems ablaze with brilliant light and glorious colors –hues not usually associated with an icy winter, such as deep red, warm green, and orange-gold. For a few precious moments, while the lengthening shadows of a group of tall pine trees cast a bold, striped pattern over the snowy yard, every detail of this old farm is more sharply defined than in broad daylight: the comfortable, steep-gabled house with its weather vane, the barn and the old-fashioned buggy near the silo, and the old rail fence.

In the foreground of artist
Sam Timm's "Pinegrove Sunset," Plate Two in the Pinegrove's Winter Cardinals collection, a pair of cardinals sit on the branches of a small bush. With their unmistakably
colorful plumage, assertive
crests and black masks,they are a welcome sight – adding a special note of liveliness and good cheer to this picture-perfect sunset in the town of Pinegrove.

The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
