Summer Solstice

'Summer Solstice'
 oil on wood panel
8 x 10

Oh so quickly it was here
That summer solstice time of year
The fields in evening
Are a treasure to share
With Goldfinch and Swallows in the air
The deer are there in velvet
A Doves mournful call drifts through the air
Mingling with the scent of fresh mown hay

'Ready For Hayin'

'At once the memories come flooding back
The moment I lay my eyes on fields of grass
A few too many years ago
I remember making hay from fields of grass'

 cut fields but not yet...

'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.

'Raked & Ready'

This piece was painted on a warm evening in early

July. These fields had been cut and raked for baling

the next day. I had been keeping a close watch on these

fields hoping to be there when they were being hayed.

I was lucky this year, as well, I was able to paint another

piece earlier in the afternoon at another location

while the tractor was mowing and filling the air with

that sweet scent of fresh cut hay.
