This is another painting of one of the "landmarks" of Klamath Basin (Oregon), the Malone Grain Elevator.  Though it doesn't really show it in my painting, this is one of the elevators that is slowly falling down.  It's hard to tell if they will be repaired as they age.  It seems like these elevators might be something that is disappearing along with the small and family-owned farms.  Hope not!

I was down in Merrill, OR the past few days, where this grain elevator has been part of the landscape for longer than I know.  I love these old structures.  There is such an elegance about them--at least to me!  I brought this little painting out of the archives--it was done a couple of years ago after I'd visited the area on a very very cold weekend.  Pristine air, snow geese, swans--what beauties that area offers!

Another grain elevator outside of my old hometown. I have always liked the simplicity of this particular one.

This past weekend, I took a little trip to where I grew up (Merrill, OR) to visit and get some inspiration for painting--little did I expect so much snow and such cold! One of the benefits of that, though, is the crystal blue sky that absolutely sparkles. The Klamath Basin is an agricultural area and quite beautiful. I have always been drawn to the grain elevators standing starkly against the sky. This area is also on the flight path of many birds and I was thrilled to see bald eagles and flocks of snow geese and swans. What a treat!
