hidden figures and colors for the type of day

Under the Corn - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006

It is not uncommon to see a single row of corn as a barrier between the road and the berry fields. I don’t know why that is - I can’t imagine it provides that much of a windbreak - perhaps it is tradition - like the rosebush at the end of a grape row (so I thought).

I just happened to notice pickers yesterday with heads barely visible - essentially under and behind the row of corn.

There were many other pickers joining them. The colors kind of just happened - but in some ways I feel they are more representative of the type of day and weather than a photo would have been.
