Oil on canvas.

Pioneer woman and son beside the Platte river...facing uncertain horizon.

So evocative of the sacrifice that shaped a present from which we all benefit.

Most deservedly given a cash prize "order of merit," but, I would have rated it rated it best in show.

I'm half way through rereading Stegner"s "The Gathering of Zion," which provides me with deep context for the poignancy of this painting.

15 upscale, tax paying, residential lots taken off line for questionable open space status i.e. increased costs as opposed to increased revenues? No public access. How does public benefit? Tax increases coming?
