oil/stretched canvas 11x14
While driving on 81 to Carlisle, I passed these beautiful golden fields of soybeans. Luckily, I noted a nearby exit and left 81 on my way back. I drove around till I found this barn and field, situated between 81 and the Turnpike-this lovely oasis surrounded by constant traffic. I asked a fellow plein air artist to return to the spot the next morning to capture this scene. It was the only time, between 9 and 12, that the sun would be partly out. The clouds were forcasted to cover the sky around 12 and they did. In fact, no sun was scheduled to appear for the whole week. It has been raining for 2 days and I am guessing that those golden fields are no longer golden. Pein air painting is all about "Carpe Diem".
