In the foreground space was a cornfield, but it never made it into my painting. I do think whether I should have given this cornfield a chance, I think it was the amount of time it might have taken to paint, but I have spent just as much time on the alternative. I don’t think the cornfield would have been any less interesting, there were lots of patterns in it that I thought had a great deal of potential. What I have in its place is an area in shadow, the colour is more muted, but its broken up by the sky reflecting pools of water. Why I chose this, I don’t know, but I like the effect, the painting is finished.
