Northland Barn

350mmX250mm This was a demonstration work that I did for my local art group, it took just on a hour to dao with about another 30 mins back in the studio. Unfortunately the colours look a little washed out in the photo.

I thought it was oils - fantastic what can be done with acrylics!

Keep up the good work, er painting.

Comment by Merv Appleton on January 24, 2011 at 20:26: Yes this was my first time doing an official demonstration which was at the clubs meeting place and yes I worked from a couple of photos and some sketchs that were done on site. I have painted several unoffoical demos with a few standing around and found them way less intimitating, however I did enjoy the exercise and look forwad to doing some more. you certainly learn a lot about your self and your work. It is one thing doing a painting in your studio but explaining every little thing as you go is a whole new ball game and is lots of fun.

Comment by Merv Appleton on January 24, 2011 at 16:25: Hi Kim, no it is acrylic and I had thought about adding some chooks and did discuss it with the group I was demonstrating to but as I only had an hour and the time seemed to fly by they were left out, I may add some sheep or cattle later. It is quite an interesting exercise to demonstrate in front of others.
