Sunset Over a Corn Field
Deborah Trent, 2021 · Watercolor on paper
One of my early pieces—an exercise in capturing sky movement and the delicate silhouettes of the stalks below.

Inspiration
I live in a rural area surrounded by farms and open fields.
Artistic Process
Another study in letting the scene “flow.” I wanted the wind’s movement over the field to contrast sharply with the rigid corn stalks below.
