After a spell of poor weather for hay-making and equipment breakdowns, it's good to see the stacks of square bales growing taller and wider, and a few herds* of round bales scattered across the fields. Here are three of them:

| Three in the Field, 9 x 12" oil on linen/hardboard. |
And today I worked on these two studies of a soybean field in Wisconsin. Soybeans are not something grown on my home farm, though some neighboring farms often have them. I'm not as familiar with them so this was a good opportunity to admire the green rows through a stand of poplar trees.
 |
| Bean Field Study 1, 8 x 6" plein air oil on linen/hardboard. |
There was a nice strong breeze, which rustled in the poplar leaves, rippled across the rows of bean plants, and blew occasional cloud shadows over the fields.

| Bean Field Study 2, 6 x 8" plein air oil on linen/hardboard. |
*Not a technical farming term. But come on, it works!
