Landmark 7/25

@ Canaan's Golden Corn
Summer!!! had to travel on alone, as Rusty declared he had found his nirvana, and had no intention of moving on!
Canaan's Golden Corn
What is it about cornfields that inspired so many famous painters to put brush to canvas? An easy answer is that the growing of corn was so much part of the lives of the ordinary people in England, Europe and America that the countryside was covered in corn so the scenes were hard to avoid for the en plein air artists.
