Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

Painting Description

Although I was at the Bearinger farm to photograph the corn harvest (seen in background), the scene of the women became the focal point of this piece. Often the accidental events can make for some of the best subjects and that is why I spend so much time in the country.

For initial sketches, see Image # P0155 Day Before Thanksgiving (Sketch) and Image # P0235 Plucking Duck (Sketch).
