Story / Additional InfoThis painting won a second place in the Fresno Arts in Agriculture juried show in 2021. The artist was inspired by the many fields and crops in the surrounding areas around Fresno, CA where she resides. Bright yellow, ochre gold, chartreuse, yellow orange dominate in the landscape where the life giving sun has just risen, lengthening the morning shadows of the trees. The fields of different crops have a patchwork feel reminiscent to the artist of the patchwork quilts her mother used to create. She also pays homage to Van Gogh and his paintings of yellow sun drenched fields.
