The Enduring Burden of a Farmer Painting
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 24 x 18 inches
Year:2025
My latest acrylic painting, "The Burden of a Farmer Painting," is a 24x18 inch canvas completed in 2025. This isn't just a portrait; it's a monumental homage to the unyielding spirit of the agricultural backbone of our society. When I set out to paint a portrait of a farmer, I wanted to go beyond the conventional representation and instead, sculpt a visual metaphor for their strength, endurance, and profound connection to the land. In this farmer painting, the central figure isn't flesh and blood, but a colossal statue, imbued with the weight of generations.
