I love these grain elevators -- and this is magnificent. It feels so totemic. You are such a great painter. I second your wish for better weather for the prairies.
ReplyDeleteTake care,

You have the perfect technique to highlight these lovely grain elevators. Thank you for documenting them!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying how the grain elevator seems to blend into the sky, texturally, but is also powerfully contrasted by color.
ReplyDeleteThe foreground is pretty luscious, too!
Hi Linny,
ReplyDeleteWe don't see many of these elevators in the prairies anymore. At one time they were sprinkled all through the countryside. This one has been lucky enough to now be recorded by you for eternity! I think it is a fantastic painting and I especially love the treatment of the sky.

ReplyDeleteThank-you very much, Carol! That's a great way to think of it - the documenting of.
ReplyDeleteThank-you, Melinda! I love having the word"luscious" used to desribe my work!
ReplyDeleteThank-you Nicki! (As I've said before, these elevators are one of my few memories of the prairies.)
ReplyDeleteHello and thank-you, Prabha! I'm attracted to red and it nearly always finds it's way into my paintings - nearly.
