"NEBRASKA PRAIRIE"

"NEBRASKA PRAIRIE"
Oil on Canvas
Original Oil Painting
10"x13"
$300.00 +S&H U.S.

We took a little trip to Nebraska to turkey hunt on a friends ranch there and I painted this landscape, and a few others, on site; in plein air. Plein air paintings are always so fresh and not overworked because you are trying to quickly capture the feeling and the light before it changes too much. I was amazed at the terrain in Nebraska, thinking that it was all flat and prairie-ish....what a surprise when we were taken to the "area" where we would be hunting! There were huge, and I mean huge, canyons everywhere on this property...big enough to build a house in the canyon canyons! We drive down into so many of these canyons with such steep hillsides and totally flat and beautiful in the bottom of the canyon.....it was like a whole different world. Where we stayed in our rv, was up on "top" which was also very beautiful with all of the flat land and panted wheat and corn and other crops. Our friend had around three hundred baby calves that were all just roaming "around" in the canyons...and the turkeys! Hundreds of turkeys in this area...so the hunting and the painting was good! I could have stayed and painted for days!
Thanks for looking today.
