Workshop33, Barn and Milking Parlor

oil on canvas paper, 9x12

Since I live out of a suitcase, it's hard to paint very often. But I do have a few days off this week and I plan to take advantage of it! This was yesterday's effort. Late afternoon, so things started to get a pale yellow cast on them. Took me about 3hours, but sun had changed too much, and had to quit.
Tried to play around with the knife and warm white paint from Gamblin. Lots of trouble with greens! Yikes!
Anyway, it was fun!

Comment by Betsy Jenkins on June 25, 2014 at 2:51: Thanks, Lori! Glad I posted this one, because the other one I posted is falling flat on its face! Yikes! I think I better stick to landscapes and forget street scenes. ;-) Going out now to find some bucolic scenes to paint....

Comment by Betsy Jenkins on June 20, 2014 at 13:07: Thanks, Michael for your valuable advice and for taking the time to look at my painting. Great suggestions! I was pretty much copying the trees that were out there, and I didn't even think about the design element! I was just pushing myself to work fast. I will definitely think about those things the next time I paint a landscape plein air. Thanks again for your help and time.

Comment by Michael J. Severin on June 20, 2014 at 11:17: Very nice painting Betsy. Great broken color on the barns. I love your overlapping of the two barns!!! That adds so much depth. Be careful of painting your trees all the same height. ..also, don't forget to reflect some of the tree greens into the shadow sides of your silos and barn roof.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on June 19, 2014 at 18:43: Wonderful painting!

Comment by Betsy Jenkins on June 18, 2014 at 15:14: Thanks, Ann! I was thinking about that lesson, when I was painting.

Comment by Ann Turner on June 18, 2014 at 14:54: Nice use of color in these "white" barns. You have shown us their character and depth with the broken color

Comment by Betsy Jenkins on June 18, 2014 at 14:27: Hi, Joy,
Thanks for the "like. " The barns belong to my next door neighbor. They had a dairy operation about 25 years ago. The barns have been converted to living quarters for the grandsons.
