Homer Glen oil on board 8x10 $175 (framed)



Homer Glen in Will County outside Chicago had been mostly rural with farms until about twenty-five years ago. Since that time suburbia has transformed many farms to manicured lawns and asphalt drives. Eastern edges of the county (nearest to Chicago) still have scattered plots of farm-this scene is one of them. The trees in the distance hide an exclusive enclave of homes, but to that point this field of corn and beans lays intact. The farm equipment, sheds, corrugated silos and trucks awaiting repair stand ready. That is the stage for this summer painting.
