Story Behind the Painting

This landscape painting is from the Eurorail: Copenhagen to Stockholm somewhere near Växjö which looks basically like Wisconsin, USA. As I was looking out the window, I couldn't help but think of my grandmother on my mom's side, Luella Harriet, whose family migrated from Sweden to Eaton, CO. Darn if most of Southern Sweden doesn't look just like central farmland Illinois!
