The Bush And The Mountain

The cow pasture off of Sloan Road in Williamstown. MA beckoned again. Of course I selected a difficult landscape subject. The first drawing is my thumbnail sketch. Then the painting which was a struggle. I finished by making another larger drawing in case I want to work on the painting again. The mountain in the background is Greylock.

Succumbing to Temptation

This afternoon I painted outside in a cow pasture through which runs a stream in Williamstown, MA. It's not easy organizing a landscape painting when the branches and tree limbs fly in every direction. I've been there before. That blue is always so tempting so I succumbed.

Disappearing Hay Bales

When I visit this spot, as I did a couple days ago, I discover that the farmer has removed a bale or two. They will be gone before the nice weather arrives.
