Columbia Basin, Pre Dawn

Painting No. 100, Columbia Basin, Pre Dawn
Moses Lake, Washington
6"x8", oil on linen panel
June, 2011

A few miles west of Moses Lake, Washington, the countryside is a rather flat landscape with large swaths of vegetable farms in every direction. The only vertical relief are power poles and the Poplar and Cottonwood trees that huddle around the farm houses that appear every 80 acres or so.
Dawn comes early here, I was out of bed at 4:45 am and still rushing to paint the every changing colors of this vast sky.
Kim and I were in town for the high school graduation of our nephew, and to meet our extended family.
