ArtistA painting from styles before 1904, hay bale roll(s) in a field with hedgerow comprised of tulip trees, sugar maples, raspberry vines, and sasparilla trees and visually anchored with boulders. The sun is setting in this painting. There are large forsythia vines intertwined in a spiritual knotwork giving shadows. There is hay. Show flowers such as queen anns lace, and rudbeckia and purple echinacea that add color and light contrast.
This upcoming winter will be one of the worst.
Last winter was brutally cold, and made it apparent that our modern homes-- with insulation, are still a death trap in arctic temperatures.
Modernization hasn't solved anything when a lack of electricity happens. Water pipes can freeze even with proper covering.
Yet tiny rural fields, not normally bailed, are being hay bailed already.
It's a strange sight. The cost of a gallon of gasoline outweighs anything else. So perhaps, this is needed for regional use. Questions arise weather this is some extremist patriotic issue or if people are corporate workers hired to bail local hay in the flag.
A long, horizontal oil painting depicts a rural landscape with a large hay bale painted like an American flag, with red and white stripes and a blue section on the left, resting on a dirt path. The hay bale is centrally located on the path, which winds from the lower right foreground towards the center background. The path is lined with patches of dried straw, small rocks, and sparse green and yellow wildflowers. To the immediate left of the path, a lush, green bush with several small, yellow blossoms occupies the lower left corner, partially obscuring the path. In the middle ground, a golden field of dry grass stretches towards a dense line of trees that forms the horizon. These trees are tall and full, with varied shades of green foliage, and some lighter-colored trees appear in the distance on the right. The sky above is a soft, pale blue with faint, wispy white clouds, suggesting either an early morning or late afternoon light. The overall mood of the painting is serene and pastoral.
