light on shed (with chickens)

I tried to make this more about the light than the chickens. The screen shot I was working from is a bit fuzzy, for one thing, and I tried out Cobra brand water mixable oils, which are awfully sticky and difficult (for me) to work with, so I couldn't have put in a lot of detail if I'd tried.

Comment by Lisa Coe on July 27, 2012 at 19:59: I agree with Casey, you have put in the drama with that level of contrast and made it interesting

Comment by Pauline Le Merle on July 26, 2012 at 2:49: Hi Casey, Well done for getting a great critique from Richard. This is such a strong exciting piece of art work:-)))

Comment by Dee Berridge on July 25, 2012 at 0:17: Casey, this is exciting, daring painting and takes what was (to me) a rather dull conventional subject to another level. Well done.

Comment by Anne Wheeler on July 24, 2012 at 11:55: I just love the light/dark contrast in this painting. Very impressionistic with the soft brushwork. Maybe painting from a fuzzy reference helps, like squinting.
