This is a painting from along the road in a Nebraska landscape. I painted it to remember those trips along the byways of Nebraska. I exhibited it at a church social and a friend, Bill, asked how much I wanted for the painting. We agreed on a price, and he and his wife bought it. I was honored by the gesture.
Subsequently, I repaired a painting by his friend A. Reading that had been damaged by something abrading of the painted surface.
I sure miss Bill; what a great friend. We visited his wife in a care facility in Utah where she had the painting exhibited.

The concept was to have a triptych of our Midwest experience. This and the next two are part of that experience.
The painting was derived from a Nebraska promotional photo.

On our many trips through western Nebraska, I saw this wooden windmill along the Interstate 80 stretch. One time I got out and snapped a photo which became this painting.

Marge and I went to visit a friend, Lu, whom we had met while in graduate school at Iowa City. She had moved to Maquoketa, Iowa. After our visit we drove around a bit, and I saw this small white church and took a photo which became this painting.
