This pastoral scene is located in Orange Virginia just up the road from where I used to live.  I was in a shopping mall show when I was working on this painting, and an old farmer walked up to look.  He asked me if I knew what the sack was for.  I replied, I don't know.  He said its for dropping insecticide dust on the cows as they walk into the barn to eat.  It was good information for me to know.  So I called the painting "Dust Sack".
Unfortunately, the nice barn and meadow are no longer there as I painted them.  There is now a water treatment plant where the beautiful scene once was.
