Joanne, I do agree that you need to see location and if possible paint first one en plein aire then take photos to studio. Keep up the good work:)

thanks for that. I haven't been down south yet. I have a cousin in Roanoke Island on the outer banks, it is a difficult place to get to from here. But, I plan to get down south and do some work, the camera is a great accessory, however I feel one needs to see the site in person as well, to gain a feeling for the history of the place, don't you?

Thank you Joanne-Yes it's in the south. since tobacco barns will soon be gone. I take many pictures to paint for my album

This is a quick Acrlylic to check composition and colors. The photo does not show the deep tones. I will eventually do this in oil in a larger format. Done in studio from the picture shown
