Medium
Painting - Oil On Belgian Lenin
Description
This piece was originally commissioned by a small town Bank in East Prairie, Missouri and hung in the Lobby for nearly 23 years. The subject matter was selected by the bank... Intending to represent the founding of the town by the railroad (History). The two dominant current industries, Trucking and Farming and the local Cash Crop, Sweet Corn.
That bank closed after several mergers and the piece was donated back to the Artist. The painting has since been purchased by another Bank and is destined to be installed in one of their Boardrooms.
The painting is 12" x 6' foot painted on hand-primed Belgian Lenin. Hand stretched over an Oak stretcher hand built by the Artist. The frame is hand built from oak and finished in a custom paint by the Artist.
Large scale commercial commissions available upon request. Please contact the Artist.

Thank you, Usha! The original can be a little overwhelming, it definitely dominates a room... after all, it is 12’ long. :) It does what the client wanted... makes a big statement about strength and stability... everything, except the corn, was drawn from the perspective of child looking up at the vehicles. Consequently, they all look like they are about to come out of the painting and run you over. :)
