Description
I saw this corn in a wood box display on a stand at Bishop's Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland, California. Thought it would make an interesting painting because of the colors and texture and it is a fitting painting for autumn. The people that went with me on the Pumpkin Farm trip called it Indian Corn. Turns out after I did some research, Flint Corn is the primary name. Calico Corn is also another name used for this variant of maize. Flint Corn came about because the hard outer kernel is like biting into hard flint. Most flint corn is multi-colored. This is one of the three types of corn cultivated by Native Americans, both in New England and across the northern tier, including by tribes such as the Pawnee on the Great Plains.
This 15” X 22” watercolor is painted on Arches, 140 pound, rough watercolor paper.
