A Barn for Sunday morning #125

This morning's barn was part of a series of 12x48" canvases I painted about 7 or 8 years ago.   I have always enjoyed working in that size; it lends itself to broad, sweeping landscapes.

In retrospect, I think the painting is greatly improved by cropping out the extreme left, which only detracts from the rest of the painting.

I don't know what inspired this landscape, painted in 2006.  However there is no question about where the title came from.

BARN OF THE DAY 52

A few years ago I painted three barns that stood abandoned on a farm in Livingston Co. in KY.  I posted one called Betrayed By Time (barn #39).  Here is another from that series of 3, cleverly called The Third Barn.

I'M HAVING FUN

with these little paintings. They are like potato chips, once you start you can't stop.

NOW WHAT?

This is what I have to show for my efforts of the past week. I've reached the stage where I need to spend some time just looking at this. My original idea was for another element (a large gnarled fence post with dangling barbed wire) to be added to the right of the barn, looming close in the foreground. But now I''m not so sure. At this stage I don't want to add or do anything that does not significantly improve or enhance the painting.

ONCE MORE IN DARKNESS

before I turn to the light. I used a recent pastel painting as the starting point for this acrylic on panel. The photo is blemished a bit by some glare that I could not eliminate, but gives as overall impression of the piece.

First, the original pastel.



And the acrylic.
