THEY ARE LEAVING, FOR NOW

I was driving through a rural area of northeastern Kansas, south of Kansas City. The fields were planted right up to the edge of the road. It seemed the plants might grow out onto the blacktop and converge in the middle.

I was driving by and was compelled by them to stop. They gave me this disturbing message..."Bring us the boy."

During the heat of the day, cattle gather together in ponds and under hedge rows to stay cool. Though you don't think of cows as being camouflaged, they do tend to disappear into the dark shadows. Their individuality blurs into a larger unified mass that gives bulk to the shadow.

My most abstract work to date, but it is still figurative in my mind. The scene is my backyard, of course. The horizontal ribbon of yellow is the fence.

I like the connections between nature and literature, here Greek mythology. To me it 's an easy and natural association that ads interest to the painting.

I've always liked the grid setup of the roads in some sections of Kansas, every mile you come to an intersection of another road. Here you can see where the next crossroad will be by the row of trees that line it in the distance.

I joined DAILYPAINTERS.COM about one year ago. In that time I have painted over two hundred and sixty original paintings. Not a painting a day I know, but still, that's five a week. I am pleased with that output considering I work full time and have a family that I like to devote time to also.

This week I am posting all 5x14" paintings. I was intrigued by the diptych I painted a couple of weeks ago. The elongated composition is challenging for me, but I like what I've painted so far. They are still daily paintings - paintings usually done in one sitting - the painting is just twice as big.

In many rural areas of Kansas the land is sectioned off into 1 mile squares. With that the trees in the landscape angle off at 90 degrees to one another and the roads may be followed to the horizon
