A few days before we departed for the
, fellow artist and good friend,
posted this photo on Facebook with the caption:
Anne & Cathi head for the country.
We decided we needed to re-create the photo in this modern day setting, as the 'Silo Sisters' (you might recall from my earlier post - we each had a guest room for the week sleeping in the silo (behind us). We enlisted the help of fellow resident artist Barbara Diener and her vintage 4x5 camera. We have not seen her rendition yet, these are candid shots taken by our 'farm dad' Gary Bocker. He outfitted us with his pistol and shot guns and yep, we all took a turn with the 12 guage!

Part 4 from the Fields Project: PROCESS
Unlike my plein air compatriots, I work via sketches and photographs. Mostly driving around the first few days of the residency and then setting up my outdoor studio at Castle Rock State Park. This year, I only spent a short time up there due to weather and ticks. I spent two afternoons painting in one of the enormous storage sheds at the Bocker Farm...me and the morning doves, they didn't really appreciate my prescence but they graciously spared my artwork their droppings!

No, this cow was not this tall, but I couldn't resist making this comical rendition.
My work was more abstract than usual, this year. I was fascinated by the patterns of the driveways at the farms and the simple shapes of things.
