“Madonna of the Farm I,” Oil on Panel, Brian Hinkle

My road trip to Wichita and Emporia on Monday introduced me to some rare gems.  One of those is this piece by Brian Hinkle, who works in oil, and does these incredible paintings blending neo-renaissance with Midwestern themes.  I love his work.  So does my client.  We’re acquiring this one.

(Life goes on.  It has to, or you just shut down.  When love is the dominant theme, that is easier than when love is not.)
