One of my favorite places in Lancaster Pa, with the colliding worlds of Amish Community and "the English" commercialism somehow coexisting. Cars and horse pulled buggies co-existing (more of less) on the sames road. Lots of barns with clothes hanging out on lines. One place I enjoy is Sights and Sounds, which is a Christian Theater with Bible story related production. Very popular.
I was a passenger and I was taking pictures out the window and it was a cool, misty not quite rainy day. We came from route 30 to Strasburg Road, passing by the Railroad museum, up route 896 to Sights and Sounds, with a stop at the Agape Cafe and Grille for lunch., Somewhere along the way, I took the picture this painting is based on, several Amish farmers harvesting their corn using 3 horses and a wagon, out a mist streaked window with the car in motion. I have several other photos I may use. This is 11x14 oil on canvas board.
I had to go online to find similar photos, because I could not tell if the driver was standing or sitting. The pictures I found show both to be the case so I left him standing. As usual you can buy images of this painting via Pixels
Here is the painting and the reference photo
