Harvest Road
One thing I enjoy doing when I'm working in small-town Eastern Washington is walking into a local diner with samples of my work and introducing myself. I'll tell people what I'm after — old barns, sweeping fields, anything that captures the character of the landscape. On this trip, nearly everyone I talked to said the same thing: come back Thursday, there's a retired history professor from Washington State University who lives here and knows the area better than anyone. So I came back a couple of days later, had dinner with him, rolled out my map, and he pointed me to a handful of locations. This was one of them.
The dirt road curves through freshly harvested stubble and climbs toward a red barn tucked into the rolling hills, the whole scene lit up in late golden light. The shadows carve across the fields and give the Palouse its depth — those long, sculpted lines that make this part of the state feel like no other place on earth. Two of my limited edition prints came directly from that gentleman's guidance, and I'm grateful for it every time I look at this image.
