Windmills have always been a favorite subject for me. They were a lifeline for the early settlers and with the invention of the electric pump, seemed destined to becoming an obsolete part of our vanishing rural scene. Now, due to our energy problems, many of the old Windmill companies have resumed production and we will have these graceful machines to enjoy for many more years. This fine Windmill is on the Anchor X Ranch, the scene for two of my previous Lithographs!
