Hay Bales Nocturne
Oil on panel
Artist Statement
“Hay Bales Nocturne,” an original oil on panel, I was inspired by the lay of the land East of Pittsburgh where there was a gap in the distance and the landscape took on a beautiful rolling tilted shape and form that seemed alive with energy that tugged everything into its folds in a nocturnal mystery under a July Moon.
