Wheat fields eastern plains Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
The eastern third of Colorado, where the Rockies finally let go and the land runs flat to Kansas. Hard red winter wheat in long sections, planted in October and cut in early July, between rangeland and dryland corn. In July of 1893 Katharine Lee Bates rode a train across this country on her way to Pikes Peak. By the end of the trip she had written the line about amber waves. Combines move north through harvest. Grain elevators mark the towns: Akron, Yuma, Burlington, Wray. The sky goes the rest of the way.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
