A meadowlark perched on a hay bale on a sunny afternoon. In the background, a pair of Sandhill Cranes can be seen by the lake.

I find the composition of large round hay bales very intriguing, and hope to paint more in the future.

For local history buffs and according to life long neighbors the large hay bail in the foreground of this painting is the approximate location of the original Buckmaster farmstead. The home was moved to the south and west apx ½ mile and added to the west side of the Kenyon home.

I am constantly searching for historical tid bits to motivate my next creative endeavor.
