A Quaint Farm

"Pasture Fields", oil, 11x14, $800. framed

A small farm down in a valley. Rows of fresh cut hay ready to be bailed.  The barn is weathered and the home is a classic white farmhouse with a nice large front porch.
I have always wanted to paint here and last Thursday, I got the chance when the Thursday plein air painters received permission. There was a potential painting everywhere I looked and the morning had a bright overcast sky. So I choose this nice spot among many. I used my artistic license to help the composition along, by leaving out closed gate and a small foreground tree. The story is here though at this little farm...admire the gardens...and then let's wander through this gate and into the field of fresh cut hay. Summer.
