…a cow looks over her calves, penned by a white fence next to a red barn and a windmill — a familiar scene in rural Kansas. But this bucolic scene towers over the town. No, we weren’t in some sort of land of giants but in Clay Center, population 4,000. After husband Art had taken care of some business with one of his customers, we decided to pause a moment and enjoy the art. The books were two-dimensional … paintings on a wall, fittingly next to the town’s Carnegie Library. The farm scene was a few blocks south on 6th Street … a 7,000-square-foot mural on the Key Feeds facility. These are two of 13 paintings installed in the past eight months as part of Clay Center’s “Mural Movement.” Others include one that honors local first responders, while another depicts the flag-raising on Iwo Jima during World War II.
