A Well Tended Corn Field

A Well Tended Corn Field, Plein Air Work ONLY
A Well Tended Corn Field
This Watercolor Painting was done in April 2020, during The Prepaint Ellis County, prior to us being notified that it was being delayed until September. I loved painting this corn field and all the new Spring colors. While I was painting a neighboring scene A neighbor came up and explained to me that the person that bought the corn field, had hired a young man to come and clear all the stones out of the field. I imagined him laboring row by row clearing stones and then napping in his car as she told me of, with his feet out his window. I didn't paint that part of her story, only what I saw in the spirit of a man trying to do his best with what he had been given to tend.
