In late July 2007, on my way home from a writing workshop in Taos, I drove through the Oklahoma Panhandle and was amazed at how beautiful that country is - I love it up there and am concerned about the effects and consequences of the extreme drought it is experiencing. So far I have made two paintings from that drive and have ideas for several more. This painting carries on the previous seasonal theme in that the fields have been harvested and the farmer is plowing them for the next crop. For the Discovering Oklahoma show, I wanted to give some indication of Oklahoma's economy and certainly farming has been a major part of the state's growth.
