This is the second in my series of the piece Peace Dove paintings. In this one, the Peace Dove is rising out of chaos. We can see things have been bombed and smashed, and things are looking terribly fiery. The Peace Dove is rising up, with a hopeful thought toward the light.

A while ago, I was driving along a road where a neighbor had mowed and rolled up bales of hay and I thought they looked remarkable. I took photographs. And then I've done several paintings. The Mystic Hayfield with Round Bales. is almost like a magic flowing out of a golden area in the trees. And it becomes bright and delightful.

The farmer near Crozet who has this beautiful field gave me permission to set up my easel and paint. Later I decided to do this more abstract and mystical version of the hayfield.

Alternative description: The farmer near Crozet who has this beautiful field gave me permission to set up my easel to paint. Later I decided to do this more abstract and mystical version of the hayfield. “Mystic” as well as beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but one must admit that these waving lines in the field certainly radiate from a royal purple heart. They bear the rounded bales like fruit from Mother Nature hanging before our eyes. Steven Pressfield made a mystical suggestion in his 1995 book “The Legend of Bagger Vance” that we “See the Field.”
