Sketched sometime around 1983, on a trail next to a railroad, somewhere along the Platte River south of Omaha, this landscape is one of the first drawings I ever made en plein air.
The sketch has many obvious faults, but all the pieces were already, unknowingly, in place: river, hiking, nature.
Of the hundreds if not thousands of walks and hikes I've taken, I've forgotten almost all of them, but not those I've sketched.
