The Hay Field

8" x 8"

Oil on Canvas Panel

I decided that I would go with a traditional landscape theme for this daily painting effort. Haystacks have been painted with some frequency since the Impressionist movement in the late 19th century. Actually, I have never painted them - until today.

I wanted to use as much color as I could get away with, while still maintaining a certain realistic approach.

I found this exercise to be the most fun of any painting that I have completed in a several weeks. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed painting it!

Be back soon with another study.
