and crisscross angles of field and fog

Hoes in the Mist - Digital Painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006

Inspiration is a fun thing sometimes. In the above painting it came in two ways and in pretty quick order.

I spied the gang of workers hoeing - the conditions were fog and mist - and I had that without missing a beat moment - “hoes in the mist” - some of the ramifications of which can be found in earlier article.

I had wanted the workers be to kind of lost in the fog as well - I could only see them for a brief moment and they frankly kind of blended in.

From a painting and composition standpoint, I really like the crisscross angles of field and fog and I guess I am ok with the alliteration too.
