Prairie Images
Leona F. Brown

The harmonious interaction of farming and nature is suggested by the undulating images woven throughout this painting.  The grain elevator, sentinel of the prairies, stands amid vignettes depicting environmentally friendly farming practices.  In keeping with the scene's theme, Leona Brown has painted this watercolour on handmade paper embedded with petals, leaves and grasses.
