Haystacks in the country

Our good friends live in the country near Young and on our visit after Christmas I was unsuccessful in getting art on paper but did get some photos. The country is beautiful. They received rain when we arrived and so there was lots of green. The vastness and isolation amazes me.


We drove past these haystacks dotted around the paddocks. Perhaps the farmers do gather them eventually but they look surrealistic in the land. This was especially so where there were undulating hills. As usual Tim was his efferverescent self. The grass in the foreground is applied with a palette knife, paint brush and speckled. I never knew there were so many means to getting a paint effect!
