When I arrived in Marceline, I passed the most amazing field full of hay bales. Instantly, I wanted to paint some, even though I have some dotting my pastoral landscape at home! Rather than painting in town, I set off for this farm with the landscape in mind. After scouting within the perimeter of the fence, i decided to walk out into the field, too see what I could see. Of course, there was no going back after I saw this beautiful scene. Sometimes I've got to set up way back in the pasture to get the full scene I didn't even know I needed to paint! I'm so happy and honored this painting was selected for the Magnolia Antiques Purchase Award in Paint Marceline! The extra effort is always worth it. Painting number 4982 in 4982 days.
