Thoughts on the Prairie is a self-portrait dedicated to reflection on heritage and homeland. Specifically, I focused on blending myself within the environment, while also having a well known landmark and Nebraska symbol stick out. I believe that both these approaches united the piece, along with medium-toned and neutral colors.
This piece was made by painting with hands and fingers.
This piece was entered into the Nebraska State Fair, and received 3rd place ranking in the Oil & Acrylic Media Division; Portraits/Comp-Figures Class.
