My apologies if this is received twice; my email jammed up and I do not know if the first message went through.
I am not a member of your listserve, but Kim Eckert suggested I contact your members. I am searching for a photo of the Salt Lake Wildlife Management Area in Lac qui Parle County to use as a reference for a painting relating to the Minnesota Sesquicentennial events coming up this year. The historical societies of my home county, Lac Qui Parle, and four others have been awarded a joint grant to commission works from local artists for a visual arts display that will commemorate the history of this part of western Minnesota. The application provided a list of subjects from which to choose; as I grew up in Marietta and live on the same road that leads to Salt Lake, it is naturally my first choice. It is my hope to find one or more photos depicting the lake in spring or summer, and including the viewing deck. The deadline by which I must submit an application to be considered for a commission is Friday, Feb. 1. At this point I only need a good jpeg image that I could print out to give them an idea of how the finished painting might appear. If any of your members can help me out on this, I would be very appreciative and would certainly give any credits requested. Thank you. Barbara D. Tarcza BDT Studio Marietta, MN
