In the Pasture at Kill Creek Farm
Oil on wood, 14x11
|
In the early morning, it looked as though rain would be my painting companion. But, it turned out to be a beautiful painting day - even warm at 88 degrees by the time I finished this one! I have been to this historic farm several times through the years to paint, but I have never actually painted near the farmhouse and old barns! The goats were very interested in me at first, but soon grazed on to a greener field, ending up back in the woods! Whenever I paint animals en plein air, I get their shapes in as fast as I can - you never know when they will dart out of sight! It was so quiet where I painted, I could even hear a rat chewing on the old dead log behind me! My daughters used to have pet hamsters, rats and mice - so I know that noise! Painting number 998 in 998 days and Day 25 in the 30 day painting challenge.
