    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.

      In Mississippi, small-town bluesman keeps aging music alive

      With calloused hands, Jimmy "Duck" Holmes plucks an old acoustic guitar at the juke joint his parents started more than 70 years ago. He checks the cafe's inventory: jars of pickled eggs, beef jerky, pork hocks. He tends to the wood-burning stove, made from an oil-field pipe. And every morning, he eventually settles in on a stool behind the counter, waiting — hoping — that someone who wants to hear him play will drop in.
