Spring on Chimney Rock Road

Painting inspired by Driftless Area, Recent Work

Spring on Chimney Rock Road, oil painting by Iowa artist Fred Easker.

Following directions to a farm just a few miles from Lansing, I found myself on Chimney Rock Road—and what I saw became this painting. The scene held many of my favorite things: undulating land, freshly plowed fields under a soft spring light, a narrow lane leading into the distance, the hint of a farmstead, and a composition balanced on the edge of improbability. It’s the kind of view that asks you to stop, take it in, and feel the quiet pull of the countryside.

All paintings are inspired by actual places in the landscape.
