This plein air piece was one of the lucky times when I knew immediately it just had to be painted. The only question was - how much to include and what to leave out?? From where I stood I had a 360 degree view with each direction a fine choice for painting. You can see I love trees - this grove had plenty of character and seemed to be a cornerstone of the farm. Just getting to the farm was arduous - at least for my little PT Cruizer. The road had been abandoned long ago. I wish everybody could have a nice a day as I had. What a lovely thing to be able to go out and paint a view like this...
Painted for the benefit Land Trust of Huntsville
