Iowa Corn Stubble--2008

I took my kids on a hike at Rock Creek State park in March--just as Winter was ending here. The hills on the way there were covered with corn stubble. This is my image of the road to the park. I was trying to do a picture in cool tones, but as usual, red and yellow just wouldn't stay out of it. I do think it feels a little bit chilly even with my warm colors.

By the way--I painted on linen and then layered with netting and embroidery.

You need to bring some of these with you this summer (or I need to come visit you)- I want to see what the textures are like in person.
