*** About Windmills

***: Windmills, often seen as quintessential elements of rural landscapes, have been used for centuries to pump water or grind grain. The specific style depicted in the artwork is reminiscent of the traditional American farm windmill, typically used for extracting groundwater. These structures are not only functional but also hold a nostalgic value, symbolizing self-sufficiency and the pioneering spirit. In areas like San Antonio, TX, where agriculture has historically been a staple, windmills have played a crucial role in irrigation, helping to sustain farming even during dry spells. Beyond their practical applications, they are celebrated in art and photography for their rustic charm and as icons of an idyllic country life.
