bypass elevation

The notes on the sketch for this painting say: " Early over late beans    under bypass" and "Gray beans w/ yellow over" (in other words the closer beans were already dusty brown but the further beans still yellow).  and then "silver wire."  Seems to me the beans in back were probably planted later than the front beans, due to some dirt work associated with the bypass or maybe some flooding by the creek early on - it was pretty wet this summer. The elevated bypass runs from rt to left in front of the last tree line in light browns. The distinct difference between the 3 rows of trees did not turn out so distinct in my sketch as in real life but I remembered how it actually was and tried to return to that clarity in the painting. You can see the "silver" power lines hanging in front of the trees but I did not do the ones on the right side with the same approach- seemed to me they should be in shadow.    The date was 10/9/15, so the painting was done that night after the bike ride that took me there, as it was already afternoon when the sketch was done.  The back of the 5" x 9" sketch pad says: "Three Hills  8/15" so this is the pad that went with us to Alberta in August.  Cannot say I was too happy with the tone of this photo- the original is a bit lighter, as the day was a bright fall day before harvest.
