New Works: "Hay Bales at Harvest Time"

It was a lovely October early morning. As Charles set up his easel in the shade, I set up my camp chair in a sunny spot, sipped my coffee and watched the mist burn off the fields. Three horses wandered over to the fence behind us to investigate.

I'm not usually a morning person, but I really do enjoy accompanying Charles on his early morning plein air outings. As long as there's coffee not too far away. Lots of coffee.
