"THE RIVER"
Iowa City, Iowa |
My husband Tom suggested the idea for this painting: to paint the Iowa
River and everything that is along it. As I painted, I ran out of room and
needed to move the river a little here and there ("artistic license"), and
had to leave out a myriad of things. I included Kalona in the bottom left
of the painting, represented by the home of Leena and Jonas Miller, where
we brought 25 Norwegian relatives for an "old-order" Amish meal. After
enjoying a huge home-cooked meal, all made without electricity or any
modern conveniences, we went outside behind the house to see the fruit
trees and taste raspberries. In the middle of the backyard was a huge,
home-made trampoline! Made of black rubber, it stretched between the
hand-hewn wood post frame. The children were impatiently waiting for their
turn while Leena, in her full Amish garb, jumped on that trampoline! I
stood there with my mouth gaping open as we all watched 75 yr old Leena
climb up and jump high on that trampoline! Photographs are strongly
discouraged, so I was sure to imprint this scene in my memory. Near
Mayflower Dorm, a couple was riding their bikes along the river, when they
spotted a huge black turkey, and they both pointed in amazement with their
mouths wide open. Now we see wild turkeys frequently. There actually was a
wedding going on at Danforth Chapel this summer when I was there to
photograph. Also included in this painting: Centaur Stables, the 4-H
Fairgrounds with a tractor pull, the Iowa City Airport, Dane's Dairy,
Kinnick stadium, "the bubble", Finkbine Golf Course, Carver Hawkeye Arena,
the Woodpecker Trail, Dairy Sweet, Mayflower and Stanley dorms, U Iowa
president's home, Firemen's Memorial, City Park and the Shakespeare
Theater, Coralville Reservoir and the spillway, Devonian Fossil Gorge left
after the flood of 1993 and dinosaur bones they haven't discovered there
yet, City Park and the pool, and much more.

"THE LAST RIDE IN"
An October Night at Wilsons' Apple
Orchard |
Every year, our family visits
Wilsons’ Apple Orchard, in the beautiful rural hills just north of Iowa
City, to “Take a Walk, Eat an Apple,” as Joyce and Chug Wilson encourage
all their visitors to do. If you visit here, you will likely be greeted by
Hawkeye the dog with licks and kisses, something about which my seven-year
old is never thrilled. You will enjoy sampling any of the one hundred
seventy varieties of apples they grow, as you hike the hills. One night,
we were running late, but since Grandma was visiting from Florida, we
wanted to be sure she experienced Wilsons’ Orchard with us before her
flight home the next morning. After walking, picking and eating our fill,
we got on “The Last Ride In” with Chug, and the awesome beauty of the
orchard and pumpkin patch on that most beautiful, clear, full harvest moon
October night was impressed on all our memories.
As I rode the tractor ride, I knew I had to do this painting, and three
years later, here it is!
