Delta Snow

8 x 10 oil on canvas - SOLD

Mississippi doesn't see a lot of snow but in early fall it looks like snow in the fields with all the cotton!  I grew up in the Delta where you see row after row of the white fluffy stuff every year--miss that scenery.

I wanted to try my hand at a close up view of cotton - I liked the idea of painting on a dark background to contrast with the cotton.  I'm missing the Delta - this was a common sight every fall!

Mississippi Cotton

8 x 8 oil on stretched canvas

Having grown up in the Mississippi Delta, this was a common site in the fields all around.  I miss seeing the fields full of cotton ( looked like snow).  I've moved and cotton is not farmed here like it was in the Delta in my day.

Seems I've forgotten how to paint over the holidays. :(  This was a tough one mainly because I didn't feel I did justice to the beautiful cotton fields in the Mississippi Delta.
