Nature Wins on the Farm

prints of the original oil painting by Ken Dahl

This peaceful illustration of the old truck and abandoned farm is from a black and white photo I took for a community college photography class. Just now, 45 years later getting around to painting it.

This painting was inspired by one of the verses in an old James Taylor song... 

“There’s a pasture in the countryside I used to call my own. There’s a natural pillow for my head. The grass there is overgrown, yes and though – I think of that place from time to time, when I want to be alone. It's been a long way from anywhere like heaven to your town, this town.”
