Artist Larry Veeder was working on this seven foot oil painting at his studio in Red Wing a couple weeks ago. It might have been his last, but fortunately, later that evening, he alerted his wife to what he thought might be a heart attack and now he's recovering from his triple by-pass surgery. 
Larry is the son of Agnes and Sidney Veeder. Agnes is Erling Rolfsrud's brother. That makes Larry a cousin.He's been a leader in the Red Wing art community for many years. He and his wife, Carolyn, also have a home in Cornville, Arizona, and spend winters there. This year's trip will commence a little later, owing to the aforementioned event.
Some of Larry's work is displayed on a web site. Just Google "Larry Veeder" and you will find some examples of his work, as well as a little bio and philosophy from a very interesting fellow.
