Lawrence Public Library, was created to enhance the community's reading of The Virgin of Small Plains through visual depictions of the landscape that is so viscerally rendered in words by Nancy Pickard in her novel.
Supplication, shown here, is one of the images in the exhibit, a photograph by Dave Leiker, Emporia, that Dave says was directly inspired by the book. Thanks, Dave, for allowing me to share your work with the rest of the state. To see more of Dave's photos, go to http://www.flyoverpeople.net/.
The exhibit also includes beautiful images of the Flint Hills in all seasons, weather, light, times of day, circumstance, and detail, in the paintings of Louis Copt, Lecompton, and the photographs of Scott Bean, Manhattan; Ron Beeton, Marion; Dan Coburn, Topeka; D.W. Gates, Lawrence; Harland Schuster, Morrill, and Roger Spohn, Baldwin City.
If you are in Lawrence, please stop by and take a look.
