Wexford Autumn

Painting inspired by Driftless Area, Recent Work

Wexford Autumn, oil painting by Iowa artist Fred Easker.

South of Lansing stands the historic Church of the Immaculate Conception, built by parishioners from local limestone in the 1860s. Across the road lies this valley, a view I first painted as Wexford Spring in 2007. Since then, I’ve returned many times, waiting for the right light. On this day, early autumn sun spilled across green pastures, touched the first gold in the trees, and traced the curve of the stream. A bare tree stood against the bluff like a sentinel. The land, the light, and the season came together in perfect balance—a scene worth pausing for.

All paintings are inspired by actual places in the landscape.
