On the Great Plains


Watercolor--How can you grow up out here and not love the skies?

"Elsewhere the sky is the roof of the world; but here the earth was the floor of the sky. The landscape one longed for when one was away, the thing all about one, the world one actually lived in, was the sky, the sky!" --Willa Cather in Death Comes for the Archbishop
