The 6th canvas of 9 for my show at Parklane Gallery this coming June.  This is from a photo just northeast of Salina, Kansas.

A different angle - kind of interesting.  I sketched this last series with my pens and watercolored them later.

Sketched this while waiting for Nancy and Lauren to finish the Van-Run Marathon...which they did, in their best times.

I've never attempted a 'sunset' with my oils / acrylics, so this is my first shot.  Done in acrylic, one has to work really fast to blend the colors before they dry.  This scene is fictitious, gleaned from my memory of this and that, growing up in Kansas.  The grass on the other side of the road wasn't intended to look like a marsh, although they has some soggy weather last year.
