This is a plein air painting of a farm headquarters that I pass

each day. I see it early in the morning, in the fog, late

in the afternoon, and cloudy days. It has many different

personalities. Each one begs to be painted. I did discover

painting this scene about ants and ticks. In Missouri,

they're never far away. When I got home from painting, my

paint box was full of ants, and my legs were covered in ticks.

The wonderful life of rural america. The only fame we have

here, in Sikeston , Missouri, is the Jaycee Rodeo and

Lambert's Throwed Roll Cafe.
