An Assembly Of Paint


A slight, little painting that I did this afternoon from the corner of a just-mowed hayfield in Williamstown, MA.  I set up in one corner of the rectangular field in the shade looking across the shorter side towards the other corner  where the entrance from the road is located.  I am more convinced about the rightness of what Corot said about plein air painting: it is an expressive assembly ("un assemble") of visual perceptions transformed into paint.  8x10 inches, oil on panel.
