Prairie Dance (original oil painting) Size:30"x30" Despite the relatively deep snowdriftsDescription: One summer afternoon, as I was hiking through a local prairie, I encountered a field of Black Eyed Susans. Golden hour was setting in and as I crouched down to investigate, the combination of a dramatic glow and gentle breeze created the illusion that the flowers were dancing.
