About the Artwork

Medium: Mixed

My painting represents the planting of corn crops which occurs in late April. The day before we plant the crops we soak the corn then plant them the next day. We plant them in a form of a track so we get good quality corn. Later we return to our homes around 11:30 to have lunch where we eat chicken or beans. This is the custom in our village.

My favorite food is beans and I don’t like chilies.
