Moonrise over a limestone field
30 x 40 x 1.5 

This painting is my nod to limestone fence posts that dot the prairie land, built by pioneers because there were no trees. The canvas is a 1930s Depression Era flour sack found in a rural antique store. I used hand-ground Kansas slate, sandstone and burnt wild sage to depict the rugged fields, leaving the sack logo as a full moon on a brightly lit night. Selected for Kansas Scenic Byways Invitational at the Birger Sandzen Gallery.
