In this painting I again chose an afternoon view.  Wanting to capture the shadow on the main barn and that necessitated being on site about 2 pm to achieve this.  My gosh but it was hot.  Now I know why I like the morning light and those morning temperatures.  The fields were planted with soybean and I  found that hiking out to put a little distance between me and the subject matter did nothing to cool me down! As always I learned a lot from working en plein air and hope to revisit this site in the fall.
