I admit, I am not a farmer. I grew up in a town, in a neighborhood. My experience on farms is pretty limited. Maybe that's part of the enchantment of all the farms I photoed in Vermont. They are different than Colorado ranches. Several afternoons we just drove around taking pictures of farms, barns, fields, crops, and farmers. I knew I'd want these as reference for future paintings. The future is here! Now I'm painting them.
I also admit that I didn't really know exactly what this farmer was doing. He wasn't plowing, or cutting. My husband said that he was raking. So, as I often do I went to the internet for help. I Googled "cutting hay", and "cutting and raking hay" and spent several minutes watching John Deere videos on YouTube! So, now I know for sure that this farmer is raking hay!

Pam, The small tractor "raking" horizontal stripes of hay makes for a great composition. I love the way you delve into your projects and investigate.....was he raking or cutting? Love it!!!I also love the completed barn painting. Pattie Remmey
Thank you Pattie! I so appreciate all of your support and friendship.
