Hay Days

This painting depicts the farming way of life back when they used a horse drawn hay rake. Some areas still use them. Mostly now it's the modern machines. The areas are vast and the machines are much faster. It doesn't matter which machine is used though because the cattle egrets will come in and congregate on the fields to catch any insect that flicks or flies through the cut and raked grass. Hawks are nearby to capture and field rodents that try to escape the machines. That doesn't bother me at all because mice and rats can make a gal scream. I tried to depict the hot dry weather that hay needs to be cut and baled. Maybe I accomplished that.
