Here is a painting done on location on the east side of town. Kitsmiller Rd I guess. This is just south of the new county shop. I have done more than one drawing from this location. Have also done paintings of the small building and cattle chute on the horizon. It seemed pretty impressive to me from this angle through the trees. There was a long front of white clouds on the south horizon stretching for some distance. While I was standing there beside my pickup, working from the back of it along the road, the fellow came along with his tractor hauling a disc. He missed my truck by about 18" maybe and above the top of my cab. I was over as far as I could get & there was a power pole on the other side. He knew right where he was, so I just kept painting as he passed. Dumb huh?! The small shed in this view is now gone now and being replaced by a new house on the place. This painting was less than a year ago, on March 15th this year. 9 1/2" x 13 1/2"- seems like this was Strathmore 140# paper -more of a mechanical looking finish than say an Arches paper, but a little quicker drying.
Below is a detail of the chute and shed.
