"Draw at the Kaw Indian Reservation"


                                                            "Draw at the Kaw Indian Reservation"

                                                                        Oil 18"x 24"$475.00


I painted this piece on the Kaw Indian Reservation with a group of Plein Air students from Council Grove, KS. The Kaw Indian Reservation is vast and beautiful and full of color. Nothing interrupts the distances where the land meets the sky. The long views of unspoiled land brings the sky closer to you. You are not separated from the earth and it becomes a breathing living soul that you meet as if for the first time. This deep ravine was full of the colors of the earth. Water caused the erosion and exposed a crack that was full of beautiful lively color that told the story of how this beautiful place came into being. The wind moved the color onto the canvas for me.
