I painted this painting at the Mississippi Earthtones Plein Air Painting Competition. Elsah is a favorite old town which used to have an excellent little cafe. They made excellent soups, sandwiches, and homemade desserts. The painting is signed in the lower right corner. It is unframed but has gallery wrapped edges. The edges are painted so it may be hung as is or it may be framed and hung. It measures 24 × 30 inches.

My paintings reflect my love of the outdoors, especially those places near a stream, a river, a lake, or the sea. This fascination with the outdoors began when I was a young boy exploring McKenzie Creek, which ran about 50 yards from my Grandmother’s home, in Piedmont Missouri. Many of my paintings are devoted to scenes that have in them a body of water of some type or other. Other features of the outdoors that I am drawn to are mountains, skies, trees, old barns, hay bails, and animals.
