Hay bales in Sudbrook
Oils on canvas panel 30 x 40 cms |
Last week I got out to a local field to paint this, it was a really hot day! I didn't have much time which is often a good thing, as it forces you to make important decisions and crack on with it. I'm very pleased with how it turned out which is also funny because I didn't have any great expectations when I started on it. I fancied another try of the subject but the next day it was raining and the day after the bales were gone. Just a few days later it seems that the heat of summer is finished and there's a cool dampness in the air in the early mornings and evenings.
Here's a photo taken of the painting in situ
Excellent painting Haidee - right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter! I enjoyed doing that, will look out for hay bales a bit earlier next year!
DeleteLove, love, love this!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nora!
DeleteLovely picture - I particularly like the light on the bale in the foreground. Was this last wednesday ? I painted the same scene, it was so hot and I was also in a rush but pleased with the result!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela!
DeleteThat's looking really great!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to find a field of hay bales which doesn't have them all wrapped up in nasty black polythene!
Ooh black polythene, that is nasty!
DeleteWhat a stunner, I love how you use the foreground.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bobbi, I see you've found some bales too!
DeleteI've just popped over from Bunny Mummy and recognised the rolling hay bales that are dotting our landscape at the moment. I also live in Lincolnshire and the sight of these enormous bales is truly a sign of Autumn. Your painting has really captured this.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chel!
