The hay balers are so quick with their work - it is very difficult for me to catch their equipment in the field! I've learned that if I want hay bale paintings, I must drop everything and go paint them before they are removed! Seizing the opportunity to paint this John Deer 4040 and it's baler, I ink first, add color, and ink again. I like to get in the detail I readily see without "noodling" it. Love these long days of summer! Painting number 2734 in 2734 days.
