Illinois Farm
Oil on panel, 12x9 |
The midwest farms are simply glorious during harvest season! The leaves are not yet turning in southern Illinois. Many corn fields stand tall and yellowing in the fields. Indeed, it is corn in the fields behind this cluster of barns on the rising hill. Some of the grasses have turned to gold and reddish, set off beautifully by the fresh greens. All have just been thoroughly washed by the passing downpour. I don't paint many of these skies, but I sure do like the drama of them. Painting number 280 in 280 days. I think I'll paint my roses tomorrow - they are bursting with blooms!
