“Sunset on the Platte West of Plattsmouth” is a painting I did last fall. It is a fresco on a wood panel supported by a wood cradle. Plattsmouth is one of the older towns in Nebraska. Located at the convergence of the Platte river and the Missouri river. The town began it’s life as a trading post in the 1850’s known as “the barracks”. I spent most of my youth on the Platte river further West of this location, hiking the shore line and the river itself. Sunsets on the Platte are always spectacular as are the sunrises. If you’d like to mixing in some sandhill crane watching along with watching the sun rise or set the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has a great article about crane watching.
