'Summer Eve Hayfields'

On the eve of the summer solstice I spent a lovely,

evening painting sweet smelling fresh mown hay fields.

I imagine there is, for most artists, a particular subject

that connects with you in a special way. Hay fields 

have a special place in my heart and I look forward to

painting them with great anticipation every June.

There is of course a great amount of bird activity around

the fields and the scents that fill the evening air is

like a ride in a time machine as I close my eyes

and fill my lungs. The sweet nostalgia of years past.
