Farm Painting - Bales Under a Summers Sky

I was inspired to paint this painting after passing a newly baled field of straw, on a back road along the way home earlier this year. There are not many old fence posts and fence lines left anymore around here, so I like to include them from my memories.

Painting Instead of Blogging

I have been busy painting and not getting around to blog for quite a while now.  I have been working on some larger pieces the past couple of months and now have been concentrating on a few smaller pieces too.  I enjoy working back and forth on several paintings at once, so that as one is drying I can work on another.  I sometimes will come to a stop on a piece and let it hang for days or even months before I decide how I would like to finish it.  Here is one of my recently completed larger paintings. 

Old White Farmhouse Tonalist Farm Painting

This is one of my old farmhouse pieces that I painted a few years ago.  As an artist, certain paintings become my favorites and this is one of them.  I wanted a feel of an overcast sky with the chimney smoke drifting from the chimneys and a long country dirt road running past it.  There is something special about the old iconic white farmhouses scattered throughout this great country, that continue to intrigue and inspire me for my art.

Close up views of the painting.

This large original painting is done by myself, Sharon France.  My inspiration for this painting came from the horses that I found in a rural pasture a couple of years ago.  I painted them into a  quiet country scene from my imagination.  This piece measures  18" x 14" x .75 and is done in acrylic on stretched canvas.  The sides of this gallery wrap canvas are painted to match and it is wired to hang, so that no framing is necessary.
