Quite what the crows were doing in the cornfields watching Vincent paint was open to question
Crows are not normally curious birds
Jesse and Jacob were sitting on the old wooden bench in front of the inn
Jacob was enjoying a soft drink
Jesse was enjoying a cool glass of white wine
They had been searching for Jessie’s diamond ring
Which had been lost in the cornfield on the previous day
They had not been successful
Vincent was resting on the trunk of a fallen tree
He had been painting for most of the day
A child had attached a plastic fairy on to another tree
Jessie had added a door
Jacob had added a falling star
Vincent was painting the vibrant cornfields in many colours but grew angry when the dogs disturbed the crows
Jessie and Jacob did not own a dog
So they were free to watch the circling crows
Vincent asked whether he might sketch Jessie to kill the time until the crows returned
He requested that she go through the fairy door and report on the interior world within
When the crows returned he gave his sketches to Jessie and Jacob and promised to ask the jackdaws about the whereabouts of the missing ring
