Another Field

When you grow up in the country, there is something you love about the dirt!  My Daddy used to say when you get the sand between your toes, you always want to come back to it.  It is true.  I love riding through the countryside and watching it change with the seasons and the crops.
I love painting a plowed field just as much as one that has a crop in it.  It is all part of the process.
Painting reminds me of farming.  There are steps you have to take if you want a successful farm or painting.  Farmers have to think about what crops grow better in which season and in which soil.  Painters have to decide which type of painting they can be successful with and what colors and tools to use.  Farmers have to think about  rainfall, pests, and temperature. Painters have to think about values, hues, and temperature.  Farmers are continually thinking and planning ahead. Painters are always looking for their next painting.  Farming is a twenty-four hour a day job.  Painting is also.  Farming is hard work. Painting is too.  The harder a farmer works the more people say he is lucky.  The harder a painter works the more people say they are talented.  It all boils down to one thing...the more you work at it, the better you get!  Farmers and Painters have to do the best they can and let the Lord do the rest!
