Hay Bales













Well, last week I got on a hay bale kick and did three small paintings. I have always been a bale fan, but never been very happy with the results. Well, I did three last week and am OK with all three of them (two of them shown here). The small one is 8x12, and the larger is 8x20. Jim Rey (see August '09 issue of Western Art Collector) was challenging me to do something out of the normal size, so I tried the 8x20 (he just completed a series of 8x30's). I think I like it, but it does present some interesting compositional problems. Anyway, here is the result......even my wife is OK with these, and she is not a hay bale person. Hope you like!

  1. Your bales look great! I usually don't care for them because something always seems a little off, but I think you've nailed them. Good job!
