The early settlers to this land were often nearly undone by the long distances between water sources and the lack of any kind of sheltered spaces. It truly was the land where the buffalo ran free and could stampede for days with nothing to stop them. This is a field of brilliantly blooming canola flowers under a dramatic sky, with few stands of planted trees called windbreaks, whose job was literally to break up the wind and prevent the seeded crops from blowing away. This is my world and welcome to a glimpse of it.

Yes you captured it. I should know I just arrived home after driving down this highway. Beautiful!
Those clouds are luscious.
There is a real charm to this painting that I like.
Pretty sketch! I'd love to see more of this!

Absolutely gorgeous. I love prairie land....this makes me feel so peaceful, just gazing at your art, loosely.
So grateful I found you today via CED2011!

Luscious clouds is right! Love the painting ~ namaste, Carol (A Creative Harbor and Share the Creative Journey)
I so enjoyed reading this post - and had a great laugh at the thought being able to see someone running away for three days! That little story, together with a lovely sketch, gives such a vivid impression of your part of the world to someone who has never been there.
I loved the bright colours of your sketch - I felt it had a slightly abstract slant that enhanced what you were saying about the wide, wide expanses around you.
It would inspire me too, I love open spaces!
AWESOME! I want to be in the picture and just stare at those beautiful clouds =)
I LOVE this watercolor! All of that sky must be breathtaking.
