Bales- 8" x 8" oil

finished up this little painting over the Christmas break. I am gearing up to put a few pictures in a gallery and this will be one of them (if the gallery owner likes it). I started it on location as I documented here previously and then adjusted a few things and polished it up in studio.

Amy said...: What is it about hay bales that is so appealing?; January 5, 2012 at 7:43 PM
Greg Newbold said...: Thanks guys! Amy, besides the fact that I hauled my share of bales as a teen, I think I like the shape contrast that bales have against the landscape. They have a great graphic presence in a field that I love.; January 5, 2012 at 10:53 PM
Brad Teare said...: Love this one! And it is a tough subject (at least for me). Shadow on a hay bale is the hardest color to see.; January 11, 2012 at 8:46 AM
Greg Newbold said...: I agree Brad- I totally struggled with the color of the shadow, but I think I got close in the end.; January 13, 2012 at 8:35 AM
