Another 'light and open space' paintings. This morning, on my bike ride, I developed a theory as to why I like this proportion of sky to land: for the last 30 years I've been living in the middle of a rolling prairie and unless you're looking at your feet, this is pretty much the split between land and sky you're going to see. I've just grown so used to it. As a matter of fact, last night when I looked at this painting I realized that my original version had too much land and I had to cut down the dunes by a good inch or two before I got to this, more satisfactory proportion.
