Old Machinery of the Palouse

Manure Spreader

One would think that this rusted old piece of machinery would be a permanent fixture in the field. Well in this case it isn't true. Last year I watch Rod pull it behind his just as old tractor to fertilize the field with is horses manure. Yes is gets really thick on the farm.

Most days there was not a cloud in the sky this week, very unusual for the region. However on this late morning the clouds gave my image a fairy tale like scene. I chose to paint it because of that very feeling I had.

It was sad to leave the Palouse. I have such an emotional connection to the people, their way of life and the endless scenery. There are so many places I can go and hear only the sound of the 'waves of grain'. Most days I drive for miles and not see more than 3 cars. It is a place of wonderment and joy for me.
