haybales



I was visiting an artist's studio on a tour last fall and photographed these hay bales while in her yard. Later I took some classes with her at this studio and ended up painting them "en plein aire". This was challenging as the clouds were thick and fast-moving and cast different shadows constantly on the mountains and field, changing the color of the mountains from light cadmium orange to deep blue purple, and other colors in between. But I think I captured the place and time!
