Jarmans Gap View, Crozet

Spontaneous painting two evenings ago with Isabelle and Julia. This is the open field across from my house on Jarmans Gap Rd. The field had been let go and was gorgeous with the fall colors of ironweed, wingstem, and wild grasses. Funny thing is, they came THAT evening and cut it all down and are baling it today! We caught it just in time, that is the beauty of plein air painting. 16" x 40" oil on canvas, framed $800  SOLD thanks Gina!
