"Field Afar" Whitman Mission Park, plein air painting by Robin Weiss

"Field Afar"   9x14 oil on panel    $800

Near Walla Walla is the Whitman Mission Park which documents in a balanced way the history of the local Indian tribes and the immigration of eastern missionaries, traders, adventurers and those seeking to settle in the west. See a youtube video  about the mission here,

During our visit to the park I painted this scene from the back of the ranger station looking across the fields to a farm in the distance.
