Field and Forest


My second painting in the hayfield today. I especially like the strong contrast between field and forest, which drove this painting. I'm told the hay will be hauled away soon, so I'll have to "make hay [paintings] while the sun shines"!

Aloha!

    1. I tried to revise this since I wrote it late and I thought it didn't come out right. But wound up deleting instead. I like the contrast and the zigzag lines that make it look like cut hay. Also liked the comment about "making hay while the sun shines." I got a chuckle out of that.

    1. Hi, Azra! I was really missing painting actually, after some kind of flu(?) went slowly through our household. I really needed to paint! Your tropical paintings really lifted my spirits!

  3. You are funny - hay while the sun shines!
    I love the backlighting hitting the hay bales.

    1. Thank you, Jane! I love how gutsy your work is...I'd like to go in that direction myself.
