Harvest Moon by Richard KrogstadBelle Plaine painter Richard Krogstad will exhibit his paintings in September at the Chanhassen Library, 7711 Kerber Blvd., Chanhassen.
Artist Statement:
“My paintings depict the skies, land, rivers lakes and strong honest farm buildings of the Midwest countryside. They celebrate the beauty and the importance of a landscape that is often overlooked and underappreciated…. While the Midwest landscape is more subtle than spectacular, it is nonetheless profound.
Skies are of particular interest to me. Over time, they have come to occupy more and more of the painting surface until now my favorite proportion is one fifth land to four fifths sky. I am fascinated by the constantly changing and infinite variety of abstract forms and colors in the sky and land.… Much of what once was, is now gone or rapidly disappearing- the prairie ecology, wetlands, and barns, for example. Perhaps what is left can be considered worth saving, if it is seen with new eyes.”
