Just saw a report that among the top 12 corn producing states, they are going to be short 1.4 billion bushels of upright storage this fall. Will be lots of corn in bunkers and flat storage.
 
Had given these to Dad and they are still on his wall. My first ever watercolor painting. Did them about 35 years ago, in of all places a hotel room in NC. Got tired of looking for some smoked brisket and decided to paint.

One of thousands of pumpkins I cut out of gourds and painted. A few ended up at MOMA. This was also at Dad's (Mom had selected it) and is about 5" dia. Did them from anywhere pinkie thumbnail size to bushel gourds over 24" dia. in hundreds of different faces. They were a hot item back 40 years ago.

Most willow burls I worked lack eyes and depict swirling grain. I have milled several with high hopes. Turns out as they dry, they also can ring separate. Never expected that in a diffuse porous wood. I have only worked this style burl in Black willow, White willow, Babylonian willow and hybrids of the like.
