After passing a newly baled field on a backroad along the way home earlier this year, I was inspired to paint this county landscape. There are not many old fenceposts and fence lines left around here, so I like to include them from my memories, as with the rest of this country scene.

This painting is from my imagination of an old white schoolhouse in a quiet county setting. These old schoolhouses once dotted the countryside, close enough for children to walk to in most weather.

I live on an old farmstead in the Midwest where I paint quiet, country scenes from my imagination. These contemporary folk art landscapes are created simply from the heart. I want to capture the feeling of peace and serenity that I love about the country. This painting was inspired from old country houses I have seen over the years on rural back roads. I set the house in a simple, slightly abstracted golden field with a blue sky filled with wispy clouds. This piece is on a gallery wrapped canvas and the painting continues around the sides. The work comes ready to hang.

The wide open views found in the heartland are one of the things that I love most about the country. Sunset skies are one of my favorite inspirations;to paint this long view of a little farm against the clouds, just as the sun has dipped below the horizon.
