12 x 16 oil on panel - plein air + studio SOLD
This is the painting I did by the side of the road after the Plein Air Austin paintout weekend in Hunt, Texas in May. A sudden windstorm and approaching rain caused me to have to stop painting on the spot and I finished it at home. I included the fence, which I decided should have been left out (Stapleton Kearns' advice on his blog, and I agree one shouldn't 'fence out' the viewer). So, today I reworked the foreground and touched up some other areas. I thought it had too much mustard yellow in it before. Anyway I like it better now. This hay was super fresh - looked like it had just been baled and I tried to use tones that would convey that.

Beautiful Camille.
I bet a lot of horse and cattle owners would love that hay or the rain that forced you to quit for the day.I think it is really useful to rework paintings in the studio at times.
L'atmosphère des meules de foin me plaît toujours... Il me ramène à mon enfance... Les odeurs du foin coupé... Hum!
Une toile dans laquelle on peut se projeter... Très joli travail.
Gros bisous.
Donna, I just reworked it a little more -- and thanks!
Doug, it was nice remembering that great negative ions feeling just before a rainstorm.
Martine-Alison, merci beaucoups mon amie! gros bisous :-)
Reminds me a lot of Van Gogh.
I can't think of a nicer compliment than that, thanks, Starbird! And thanks for coming here to tell me that, I really appreciate it.
Beautifully painted, Camille!!
