Some paintings lead me to new stories of our area. This one was a surprise as I tried to locate an Indian cemetery by one of the boat landings. They are not marked in the European way with head stones. I know I came very close as the historical maps pointed out and took my inspiration from the view they would have seen from that vantage point. The story and the title turned even more poignant as I found out that many of Swan family members buried at this site, died from the 1918 Spanish flu.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7230\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7230\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7230 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ColleenShore_Birds.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ColleenShore_Birds.jpg 400w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ColleenShore_Birds-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Birds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><b>Tell us about a recent project or problem that you made better, faster, smarter, more efficient, or less expensive.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">As I got back into painting I began my blog documenting my progress as an artist.
