The first painting I did this morning was a view of the Hopper. People immediately think of Edward Hopper when I say "the Hopper" but the Hopper is the v-shaped valley visible at Haley Farm at the end of Hopper Road in Williamstown, MA. The sun started to fade away in the early afternoon, so I went to the truck graveyard nearby. This is a good time to visit since the hayfields are accessible and the truck graveyard is not yet overgrown with the bushes that hide the trucks. Both paintings are 9x12 oil on panel.
