Description: I fractured my foot in August 2015, and a friend bought me an incredibly generous gift of 32 bottles of paint, several canvases and canvas boards, and a cool storage box. The night before the surgery to basically put my foot back together, I saw a stunning photo of a cornfield at sunset taken by a friend and posted online, and decided to paint it.
