“This might sound kind of cosmic or mystyc, but one of the things that excites me about the prairie is that it’s eighty percent sky and twenty percent land. Much of what you see is sky, it’s a great dome. When you paint out here, you can feel the Earth falling off to either side…. I swear, in my own little backyard I can almost feel the shape of the planet.”
— Elemore Madison Morgan, Jr.
