Behind the Barn
Oil on panel, 16x12
Defiance, Missouri |
As far back as my childhood, I have always loved the old barns of Missouri. This wonderful barn is in Defiance, Missouri, and I have painted it several times. Today, I paint it from the back side, where the trees come up in the hedgerow. On this painting, I took more time with each area blocked in, bringing each space to a more finished place before moving on. I really wanted to bring interest to the light and shadow, so this was where I worked next. I know this place so well, that just painting it brings back the memories of the sun on my face and the wind in my hair - almost as if I were standing there right now! Painting number 620 in as many days and Day 11 of the
30 Day Painting Challenge.
another BEAUTY!
ReplyDeleteReally like how you handled the light and shadow.
ReplyDeleteTammie, each and every painting of yours is excellent. I hope you are selling them right and left. The question I have is, where are you keeping all these paintings while they dry? Oil paintings always take a long time to dry for me. I love old barns too. This is beautiful with the line of trees.
ReplyDeletegorgeous Tammie! Your shadow and light effects are simply amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love how you have painted the barn, it looks so good! Valerie
