Mixed blessing

Travelling home via the Narrogin Wandering Road in late spring I noticed the partly harvested paddock, on the one hand the dramatic cloud with the coming rain would keep the pasture green a little longer , on the other, it would ruin the hay not yet cut & baled . Completed with the palette knife, as framed it is 112cm wide, 81.5 cm high and 4.5 cm deep, slight wear on corners from handing for an exibition(not not visible from the front.
