Mapleton Iowa Farm USA Framed

This view is a on the back roads in the countryside of Mapleton , Iowa. This was painted in one setting, other than allowing for drying time and varnishing it only took 2 hours to create. I recall the day was a partly cloudy, perfect for a painter, catching shadows and contrast between lights and darks. This landscape painting is a view from within a the chain of the Loess Hills near about 5 miles north of Mapleton, Iowa, I walked about a mile and a half to capture this rural farm scene on camera, then it was painted in the studio.


Original 8x10 Oil Painting framed with a golden tone maple wood grain frame SOLD-measures 12.25" x 14.25"
