The contours and occasional rock outcrops of the low hills and ridges of Nachusa Grasslands hint at a variety of erosive and depositional processes that have molded this karst landscape since the Illinoisan glaciation. With so much of the state being fairly flat, I’ve found it to be a pleasure to portray this Preserve’s bumpy topography as well as the views available from its hills.
Painted on location, finished in the studio. Canvas mounted to hardboard.
