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.
