Driving to Nashville

As some of you may know, my  best friend and her family were living with us until they found a home in Nashville. They moved into their new home 3 weeks ago and it has been exciting for them, but it has also been hard to not have them here everyday! SOOOOOO I have already been to visit them twice and the drive to and from Nashville is gorgeous! I spent an hour driving around farmland on my return trip last week. I took lots of pictures and have been planning out many paintings. I love farms anyway and tend to paint lots of farm type scenes so this has been so perfect! Here are a couple of landscapes for you to enjoy!

Jones Farm II

This is a HUGE landscape I just finished for a commission. This was life changing. First of all, I had never stretched a canvas before. Done! It was a challenge to stretch one so large, but I did it! Then just covering that much space was a challenge but it was so much fun! And I think I took at least 1000 pictures of Jones Valley in the process! So I have lots of painting material. I have actually done 3 paintings of this scene. I have one more shown below and am still tweaking the other one. I hope you all enjoy it.

Jones Farm I

I actually painted this one first in preparation for the HUGE one! I changed some of the composition for the large just because it was so large. But I had fun with this one too. They had actually just baled the hay while I was painting these so I really wanted to include some of the hay bales because they looked so pretty out there.

Family Tree

This was actually done as a graduation gift but it was so fun to do that I thought I would post it. Hope you enjoy looking!

Fields in Tennessee

"The Harvest"

This is one of my favorite times of year when all the hay is being cut and rolled. I took this picture between Huntsville and Fayetteville one day as I was driving and I looked over and saw the sun hitting the hay bales and I just whipped my car around and got out and started taking pictures. I love the way they looked all scattered around the freshly cut field! I hope you like it too!
