A painting of the sunflower guardians that are planted to protect the tender crops. These were along Highway 34 on my way home. I found a spot with enough shoulder and stopped to take a few photos. It would have been better to do some quick sketches but cars come whipping through a lot and its not safe.
On my most recent trip up to Commerce, Texas I noticed the plentiful hay bales that were on Highway 34. Of course I had to pull over and get a couple of pictures. This was the first painting from those photos. I love hay bales. It looks like our livestock won't have to go hungry this summer. I played with the image in photoshop a little to bump up the contrast a bit.
