Light on bales

Bales are appearing in the fields around here, which always cheers me up, as it’s usually a sign of better weather and the chance to spend more time outside. Sometimes, they are glimpsed in the distance, and once they are tracked down, there is absolutely nowhere to leave the car. As many roads around here are narrow, simply abandoning it on one side isn’t an option. Happily, we are well endowed with footpaths and access to open spaces. Very lucky, I know. Here, I sat in the shade of an old barn to paint the first bales of the season in a Moleskine 5×8 inch landscape sketchbook.
