I do most of my paintings on site. It's just more real and more fun for me. I do go out every so often to photograph things as though I am going to use the photos to paint ...but I hardly every use them. This is one of the times I did. Often those paintings come out a bit stiff because there is no urgency to finish, no battle with the elements to hurry things along. Fortunately, this one kept it's freshness. I like painting farm animals. I often go out and just sketch the animals several per page. The sketches always come in handy and wind up inserted into other scenes.
