Indiana Cornfield

This is a 2x4ft masonite panel.  I did a golden underpainting which peaks through, here and there, to lend the color of late afternoon sun- along with storm clouds gathering in the distance.  I took some pictures somewhere between Bass Lake and Knox Indiana because I was struck by the was light  bouncing around the corn, lighting it up like a pin ball machine.  I love this painting because it represents home to me.  It's the kind of painting that makes people smile when they look at it- whether it's displayed in a very formal, contempory, or country decor.  Who doesn't love a cornfield?
