Summer Meadow on the Farm

What a delightful time to paint this one, in the late evening, to dusk. Most of this painting was painted on site ( en plein air) . I brought it back to the studio and felt it needed a little more.
Talking with the farmer, I enjoyed hearing him speak of working with the land and being its care taker. They raised grass hay crops, I thin k I got that right. He has several different cancers is a strong proponent for as little as necessary pesticide and if so to put it on in a controlled way. He was adverse to helicopter or plane. These were flying in the area while I painted.
