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.

Impasto Palette Knife Landscape
Another small painting, just for fun. This is the midwestern landscape that I see everyday. Around here, most of the action is in the sky. I love the beautiful flatness of the land.
