Heather Field in Spring IIA painting I did in Half Moon Bay California along highway. 1. This farm was near an animal refuge where the owner kept mistrated animals in safety. Unfortunately, on a dare, some teenage punk decided to kill some ostriches at the farm, just to prove his manhood. The birds were saved from one abuser only to be killed by another! I lived on a farm when I was young. Farms are not too romantic if you have to live and work in them. The work is grueling, the experience is of insects, chemicals and manure. Yet farmers still continue to grow flowers so that the wealthy can enjoy them in their comfortable mansions. Unfortunately, suburbia is surrounding these famrs and eventually they will have to go! I was interested in the dynamic of the colored lines that the rows of flowers create in the painting.
