Stan Herd, an abstract expressionist painter turned fields into his sprawling canvas, on which he makes art of his own. The medium of his painting is earth itself, his palette consists of soil, wheat, sunflowers, and corn; his brush is a tractor; and his images can be seen only from an airplane. The artwork is nothing but stunning!
