Description

It would appear that we’re looking at a farm—barn, silo, outbuildings, a line of trees—around haying season. So why the painting’s title? The nearest lot seems to be across a road, but fence posts run across it; if so this would be an informal farm road, not a county highway, and our proximity to the work of agriculture is even closer. Golds of haystacks stand out against lines of green.
