Description
Two weeks before the F3 tornado hit I noticed a green patch of grass across the street from me in a field. Evidently, the farmer had dropped seed which sprouted among the wheat and formed a cross shape. I found it interesting and painted this small 9 x 12 oil painting. Almost prophetic in a strange way, a tornado tore through this very field killing 25 and downing the large monument steel cross not far from this site. I will always treasure this painting because of that strange coincidence. The area in this painting was later covered with debris and photos of families who were killed by the incident.

A really charming countryside view and lovely soft light Randy! l/f/Tw

Guido, this painting also has a special time and place about it. It was prophetic at the time. Thank you for your comment on this small piece and for the F/L/TW.

Skip Willits
A significant piece Randy and lovely work. FYI I found the Warhol book and it will take a few months to read it...lol.
Rand Burns replied:
Yes, Skip, this is a very significant place and synchronistic moment no doubt. So glad you found the Warhol book. It is worth the effort to read.
Roland's Art
but the history of this place... is not that delicately (just read your description)... death-dealing tornado behind such a blissful landscape...
Rand Burns replied:
Roland, thank you for reading the description. This was a life changing, but hard to believe event. Yes...behind the scenery. Was prophetic no doubt.
