It's cold out now but I'm still painting the harvest and late summer light. This is of the patterns left by combine tracks in the wheat stubble.

I started a book the other night about George Inness and enjoyed reading about his process and the extent to which he worked his paintings - layering and adding texture. It was a comfort because I've been working on the same few paintings for a couple of months now - layering and adding texture.
