This oil painting is based on a scene I noticed near the 400 block of Old Farm Lane in Prattville, AL. Two big bales of hay sit near the street, their warm golden color standing out against the green field around them. In the background, a line of trees frames the view, giving it a peaceful, tucked-away vibe, even though it’s just off a busy road. It felt like a little moment of calm right in the middle of the city, and I wanted to capture that feeling in this piece.
