berrying the theme of harvest and bent backs

Pick Aside - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006

This is the last digital painting I created - one of many with the strawberry picking theme. I am beginning to feel like I am berrying the theme into the ground.

On the other hand,  I see workers daily out in the fields close to me and far away. This was not based so much on what I actually saw, but more of an interpretation of what I had been seeing.

I wanted the viewer to feel like he was out in the fields with these two. I wanted the fields to feel like they were swallowing everyone up - that despite the depth and height of the rows - there is still a bent back to harvest with.
