Do You Remember Summer?

All this snow makes one want to revisit works created this summer.

Morning, Cows grazing. I was up early quite a bit in the late summer, chasing the intense light effect.

Evening, Cows grazing. Just the facts, thrown on quickly. I was experimenting with some new pigments during this one. So many of our Wisconsin landscapes looks like this, pastoral scenes with abstract patches of long grasses.
