Looking West

"Distant Farm - Autumn", oil, 11x14, 2009
The next day after I painted Alt's Farm - Autumn, I returned to paint the beautiful scene just looking west on the property. I was immediately stunned by this beautiful landscape so perfectly composed with interesting shapes, sunlight and shadows. Even the plowed earth had an interesting design. This plein air piece will be a reference for a larger studio work that I will be starting soon.
