Corn is a vegetable after all.
I needed something a little more familiar this week. Something warm and comfortable to paint. And corn is my comfort image. If you click on this one you get a HUGE close up, because I think the details in this painting are what make it so amazing. It's small but powerful.
And it's hard to tell if it's lonely being out there, or comfortable. And that pretty much sums up how I felt while working on this painting. I'm just not sure where I am sometimes.
I hope you like it as much as I do!

Vegetables with a Twist

Hey Rachel E - I love your corn. I know that you had the whole corn period and I know that you said this was back to something familiar. Still . . . there is something disturbingly unfamiliar with your corn this time. I feel like it belongs on the cover of a Sci-Fi or Post Apocalyptic type book. Not "Children of the Corn" but maybe "The Corn Children."
I didn't just see sunset or dawn on a corn field . . . I saw a sunset on corn fields or maybe the dawn of the rebirth of corn fields. Maybe that is just the luggage that I brought with me but that is what I saw.

It's definitely not lonely out there. Solitude, yes! Lonely, no! It's not weedy,so no weeding to be done. Not ready to harvest, or perhaps already harvested. Time to just wander through, enjoying the lines and colors of nature with the certain presence of humankind.
