One of my favorite paintings, I made this fast because it was cold—and I think I was able to capture the colorful morning light on this early November day. For many years my neighbor, who passed away in 2022, mowed this hayfield with a scythe. Black walnuts have been planted by the family, and the field is still mowed for hay (though now with a noisy tractor). I love watching the field and its trees change day by day and season by season, and I’m grateful to the Hardigg family for keeping it as a place for growing things.
