My bestie, who introduced me to SDV in the first place, had challenged me to redo one of my older pieces to prove to myself that I was in fact getting better at my art skills. And while this isn't exactly a redo, it is still a SDV themed piece of my farmer lex. I think she might have been right about my improvement. At least a little. Lol

As I was planning this, I tried to capture the sense of weakness you have in the early game where you run out of stamina just planting your first crop. It was a very real feeling for me, because even just tiling my family's garden on the first of spring could be exhausting, even after a single winter in all the previous years of doing the same thing.

But it was always still rewarding, in one way or another, and you would come away knowing more and more capable the next year. You would be tired and bruised, but you did it, with your own two hands, and it would give you a such a sweet sense of accomplishment.

Anyway, bonus points to anyone who can find the little secrets I left in this piece.
