Collection of the Artist
One grows accustomed to the surroundings after 38 years in an area. So it is when you live in Nebraska; it has its charms—weather not being one of them. Flat land, which is what Platte references, albeit flat river. Evening has a charm of its own, and the warm tones and cool water give the nice yin-yang feel to this piece.
I love the reflective nature of water and the movement challenges it presence to artful depiction.
