Unknown said...: Yes, she is!! I love the textures, design, and mood of this photo. It would make a great pastel painting :-); December 14, 2010 at 12:22 PM
Jean Spitzer said...: Yes, she is. Somehow lush, despite how dry the vegetation seems.; December 14, 2010 at 12:45 PM
-Don said...: Yes, she is.

That looks like a scene that I've seen in one of your works. Home?

Casey Klahn said...: I will call this the "yes, she is!" post. All 3 comments came in blind - all three said the same thing. My wonderful wife is talented in more ways than one, but here you can see her photography.

I thought the same thing about this, Kathy. I sketched the same scene last summer, but didn't use it. This composition works better, so I will rip it off.

Jean, even though we live inland, the marine weather still predominates. It is a crop-growing empire.

Just south of the house by about 4 miles, I reckon, Don. I have never looked directly at this scene, but I collect imagery in my mind and work from memory.; December 14, 2010 at 2:03 PM

Katherine van Schoonhoven said...: What a great photo! It's the Palouse and the magical lines from the combines over the hills. Tell Lorie it's A+!; December 14, 2010 at 10:48 PM
Oldenbroke said...: This is the sort of scene that Cheryl Culver develops in pastel. Great photo, great depth.; December 15, 2010 at 12:06 PM

Jeanette Jobson said...: Amazing photo. She chose the perfect position to capture this amazing scene. Beautiful job.; December 16, 2010 at 8:36 AM
Casey Klahn said...: Thanks to everyone who commented here. I'm trying to wrestle Lorie down for the 1 minute it will take to respond to these - she knows you love her photography, and will be with you soon.

Can the Christmas season be any busier?; December 16, 2010 at 10:07 AM

Jake said...: Nice picture indeed! I think I know this view; it’s straight ahead going west when your road takes a 90 degree turn south if I remember correctly. I’m sure I went down that road one winter in the snow when turning right was not an option because of the sheet of ice under the new snow!; December 16, 2010 at 12:38 PM
Casey Klahn said...: There's Jake! de-lurked you today, eh?

The scene is straight south of the house on the Butte - the one you drive over to get here, except this is the primitive road that leads up to Bryan's piece.; December 16, 2010 at 1:06 PM
Lisa McShane said...: Yep, that's fantastic!; December 16, 2010 at 10:12 PM
Lorie Klahn said...: Hello everybody. Wow it is great to hear your comments on the photo. Thank you so much! You know don't you that Casey ripped it off my Facebook page? I told him he is the only person in the world allowed. I'm glad you like the image. ~Lorie; December 17, 2010 at 8:00 AM
Making A Mark said...: That's an ace composition - I'd love to see more of Lori's work.; December 21, 2010 at 5:42 AM
Casey Klahn said...: My and Lorie's thanks, Katherine. I have a number already on this blog, somewhere. I'll have to collect them up and feed them out.

Cheers!; December 21, 2010 at 7:55 AM
