Straw Bales on the Back forty

This painting was great in taking the mind off our little one leaving! She left this morning and now I can paint all day and night if I want-silly. It tells us to be careful what you wish for! This was an absolutely wonderful scene and the shape of the bales is fun to do but challenging. The field does glow in the sun. When you look closely at the earth there are cracks in the soil because it's so dry!
