Grain Elevator Paintings and Prints

Grain elevators, flour mills and silos of the western prairie, painted and printed by Dennis Johnson. Many stand near Ronan, Charlo and Polson in western Montana or near Hollister in southern Idaho; others are set on open prairie with no town named.

The collection includes acrylic paintings on canvas and panel and hand-colored photo etchings. Each artwork page shows whether the work is available.
