Saltspring Hay Field - (SOLD)

Hello everyone,

This painting was done en plein air on Saltspring Island

where we just spent a wonderful three days, painting,

fishing and enjoying the sunny weather.

This scene is at the foot of Mount Maxwell and was a

perfect place to start painting. While I painted

several Turkey vultures landed and wandered around

on the short grass hunting for small morsels of food

which seemed to be plentiful in this recently

harvested hay field. Swallows seemed to be swooping

and darting every where, which is a joy to watch.

All this activity did not stop the wave of calmness

that always envelopes me when I can sit

and take in a scene such as this.

Oil on canvas 6 x 8.

Your comments are always welcomed.
