This painting was done on January 30, 2011 in a newly-harvested cotton field.  In South Carolina there are scrub trees often found on the edge of fields (I wish I knew the name of the tree).  When all else is in various winter shades, these evergreen trees stand out with their green leathery leaves in low, golden winter light.
