Indeed, they are lovely. Christ, I couldn’t do that with a stipple brush..
Well, not that I would have liked what was the final…or saw in my mind’s eye. I’d trash it, perfectionist you know. My daughter would taken what I had produced though, (as she has taken everything else) she loves her Dad…:).

How wonderfully innovative and beautiful! I’m happy their efforts have borne fruit, er . . . rice, and they are getting so many visitors. Wouldn’t it be nice to see these in person?!
Crop circles. Pfft.
