Eagan field is transformed into a Van Gogh painting

To celebrate its 100th birthday, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts commissioned Kansas artist Stan Herd to create a living reproduction of a painting from its collection -- Vincent Van Gogh's "Olive Trees" -- by planting various crops and shaping the earth in a 1.2-acre field in Eagan. Though it won't come to full flower until September, the project is already taking shape, and can be seen from aircraft on the flight path to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. We paid a visit this week as Herd worked on the site, located on the grounds of Thomson Reuters.
