Pencil Portrait
"October Corn"
This is a small 9" x 12" palette painting. It is a scene from rural Illinois where I live and in the summer I ride my bike out into the surrounding farmland, generally 10-20 miles a day. The beauty of the midwestern landscape is something that is often overlooked, but it is the landscape that I love.
