Dan Freese is a gifted painter living in Council Grove, Kansas. His children have inherited his artistic gifts and they often share their experiences together by participating in the Plein Classes I teach through the Arts Council in Council Grove, Kansas. This powerful painting is about the endless horizons on the Kaw Indian Reservation near Council Grove. The views are uninterrupted and seem to go on forever. Life on the vast praries of the West are found in the expression of color in the landscape letting us know the wild flowers are in bloom. The light of the sun is expressed in the bold use of bright yellows in the deep prarie grasses. We are not sure where the land ends and the sky begins. The clouds are strongly stated by his use of powerful brush strokes. Subtle violets and soft yellow support the billowing clouds above the beautiful colors of the land which seem to be reflected in the clouds. The vision of the artist is expressed in the beautiful undefined nature of the color work.
