← Actual view of the farmers road you can see it beyond he driveway across the street as it moves up through the field. I was actually attracted to the beam of light that cuts across just after sunrise. I am working on a value study for the painting of the breakfast scene. Instead of continuing to work on the large painting, I want to start a smaller study/copy and test out changes. I want to focus on compressing the value scale and limit the color palette. I hope this can help harmonize the design. I have compressed the image into only three values and I want to try to not go to dark in the darkest darks and rather try to make the shadows interesting in a way. In other words…. I have a lot of work to do :) →

A nice feeling of movement in the field and the sky Ann, well done for not looking at your sketches!
