A Sometimes Road--Flint Hills, 35.5x 35.5", acrylic. This painting shows a typical Kansas Flint Hills ranch scene. These hills are and have always been great cattle grazing land. The Bluestem grass is the best for feeding cows and many ranchers in the hills not only graze their own cattle during the feeding months of spring to fall but also contract to graze cattle from other ranches and cattle companies, many from out of state.
The "Sometimes Road" is sometimes used, sometimes not. The road is traveled by cowboys on horseback (there's as many cowboys in the Flint Hills as you'll find anywhere) as a short cut through ranch-lands and also to haul cattle by truck. The Sometimes Road is often well travelled during grazing time.
