In regards to his mural Ebb and Flow Douglas states: "As I paint simple subjects that remind us of the romance of everyday life, I have designed a very simple flowing landscape. It will focus on a breathtaking sky and a flowing pasture. I feel it is a wonderful depiction of the Midwest and captures the essence of Indiana and its natural beauty. As it will literally flow from panel to panel with the grace of the wind, I am naming it Ebb and Flow."[1]
