Just Look Around


This is a mid-, late afternoon view across a couple hay fields at Haley Farm at the end of Hopper Road in Williamstown, MA.  The middle ground trees seemed to be fading into the background.  9x12 oil on panel.

If you were look at a contour map of the end of Hopper Road, you would see that it ends at the beginning of a marvelous valley surrounded by steep mountain sides.  Sometimes we painters think that if only we were somewhere else we could make great paintings.  But you only have to look around where you already are to find wonderful views to paint.
