Sacred Ground

Whenever I am walking through the woods and find an abandoned car or worse a group of them it is unsettling. This scene shows a place that has multiple abandoned vehicles. It looks almost like a graveyard. I hope it conveys that same type of feeling to you. This concludes the first phase of the "Ghost on the Prairie" series. I will be doing more but I have to work on my next series of landscapes.

The Ghosts Of The Prairie Series Meaning
The ghosts of past generations are all around us we just can't see them. Whenever you see an abandoned car it has a history that is as intriguing as the people who originally owned it. The places it went, the miles it traveled all add to the mystery of its final rusting place. On the prairie and in the forests the spirits of the deceased visit these relics often and guard them.

Ghost Scouts Of The Prairie

Left alone in a field to rust away, what a waste. The only winter scene of the series. It makes you wonder why and what happened to the vehicle. If you are interested in prints of this or the original go to the web site: www.bergerfinearts to the product page in the landscape category and you can make a purchase.

Prairie Ghosts Of The Night

This is the first painting of this series that depicts the prairie at night. It also does not show a full body spirit. This piece of art seemed to need something a little different. I also experimented with colors in the sky and tried to put stars and a moon but the shading became an issue and it just became too much and not as interesting so much so that I felt it was taking away from the key focal points.

All American Icons

This painting shows a different view of an abandoned vehicle. But you can not get more American than a Chevy truck and American flag. This is a little bit of a change-up to the ghosts on the prairie series but I think it adds to it. The original measures 24"x36" and is for sale. Signed 22″ x24″ Giclee prints on canvas are available of this painting for $150.00. The original is abvailable. If interested in the original please email: steve@bergerfinearts.com.

Ghost In The Woods

This painting is large 24"x38" and as you can see the imagery is much more complex. The colors of fall lend themselves to rusting vehicles like the one shown here but I am currently working on painting do this series that has fall colors, very vibrant. I should be ready to post in a few weeks. I have to stop myself from having the trees and grasses completely envelop the vehicle it just is hard knowing where to stop.

Returning Veteran Painting

I have run into a few returning veterans and I wanted to do a painting that celebrates their arrival. This painting is trying to depict that certain feeling of coming home from across an ocean to a waiting loved one. All the bags surrounding the veteran are finally on American soil ready to be unpacked and taken home.

Ghosts On The Prairie 6

Another with a little lower view. I did not know where to stop the grasses. I like the idea of the grass enveloping the vehicles but it does not lend itself to be an interesting painting. Color combination in the grasses are interesting to paint.
