"Just as I was writing this provenance for the painting I had named "Haying", I was going through some of Dad's slides ... and I discovered that he had called it `Field Trials' and then I could find all the information about it in Dad's notes. It was painted in 1954 in Vermont, and it was chosen for the "American Watercolor Society Package Show" for a year and then loan for two years to Budworth.
