"Spring Field"

8 x 10

Driving around North Florida and South Georgia this is a common site. Large tracts of land, one day they are fields of one thing and next day they are completely changed. They are a challenge to paint only because you have to do something to make them interesting and you need to come up with some way to convincingly showing depth. There are usually some wayward tire tracks heading out across the freshly plowed field and that makes a great lead-in to the painting. I've got to get better at this because I keep coming back to this subject. I like the image of change but at the same time permanence. "To everything thing . . . turn, turn . . . there is a season . . . turn, turn . . . and someone to paint it . . . ."
