Lets see the farmer in you. My friend Irish Joe Cleary introduced me to the corn fields years ago while training for a marathon. So, how many cobbs on a stalk of corn? On the corn syrup can there is three. My mother in law, a farmer, says there is way more than three.
An Artist Observes
If you paint you must be a good observer, right? You learn to "see", right. Well, there is ONE cobb of corn on a stalk. Yup, one! Seems like a huge plant for a one tiny cobb. Well, for 15 years it had always been one cobb on my trips into the cornfield. But alas, we found a variety with two on at least a significant proportion of the stalks. We had to come all the way to Giverny to discover this trinket, and no, they have not been pruned back. What's next?
Great to see and hear about Giverny!
