Jefferey Freese is a high school student and comes from a family of very gifted painters. This is one of his first oils. The color in this piece brings to mind a storm is on the way. The clouds are forming in clusters and there appears to be a stillness in the air. The tree line in the middle ground breaks our vision and we see no movement; only the stillness of the prarie. I love the reservation and the beautiful colors that surface in this lovely, soft, still painting. The road leads us to the end of our journey where the sky and land meet. You can see forever on the Kaw Reservation and this painting lets us see the end of our journey. The brilliant greens in the foreground let us know where light penetrates through the clouds. This is a wonderful painting and demonstrates a unique and profound relationship between the artist and all that he sees.
