From an airplane, the fields and meadows of the country landscape look like the quilt on a person's bed: there is color, shape, form, and texture, inviting the walker and the hiker to stop for a moment and view the beauty. But one does not have to be in an airplane to see the quilted texture of the rural landscape: standing atop a hill, overlooking the valley below, one sees a panorama of quiet country life spread out at one's feet.

The artwork, After Harvest, invites the viewer to enter into this landscape, relishing the sunlight on an early autumn afternoon, and feeling the sunshine brush across one's face. Here, the world is quiet except for the buzzing of insects and the chirp of birds. The machinery used to harvest is silent once the harvest is done, and the fields are trim and mown.

Country life is one of hard, good work interspersed with relaxation and quiet, well earned and much appreciated. After Harvest captures this sense of dignity, space, and freedom.
