New: “May Morning”

My neighbor’s farm has been the subject of quite a few paintings. As a scene, it’s close to the studio…just across the sheep meadow that separates them from us, and therefore easy to visit at different times of day. I’ve walked the woods that line the bottom of the slope of their vast meadow, and from the woods, there is this great view, looking up hill. One early Spring morning, while walking the trail that skirts their property’s stone wall, I noticed the early morning light cast the shade in brilliant blue. The early Spring grass up where the light grazed the hilltop was minty yellow. Years later, I painted my memory of that light. “May Morning” 48 x 32
