With just a little time left before I needed to get back to town , I decided to quickly capture the pasture.  As I started, there were trotters in the landscape, but as with all animals, if you don't get them down quickly, they leave!   I used loose, impressionistic strokes to get all the colors down, and then time was up!  So, this one is quick and fresh, and my 1395th painting  in 1395 days :)

Trotter Farm

What a gorgeous day it was for painting en plein air!   The last full day of the event found me painting like crazy!   This amazing trotter farm was a beautiful place to spend the day painting.  Clay and Buddy Simpson were gracious hosts - even letting us use their gator for hauling our gear and scoutingthe property!  Fairfield rant does have the most friendly people!  This painting is the 1369th in 1369 days, and it sold tonight at the art sale  :)
