Thank you Mike for valuable input. It is always helpful.

Very good comp. And good drawing.  Something to think about for everyone....there can be only one darkest dark and one lightest light.  This gives you the "key" or parameters of your value range.  Your painting has too many darkest dark shapes scattered around the picture.  This is a common problem everyone seems to have when working from a photo.  When beginning a painting, establish your ..key..or value range....your lightest light and your darkest dark...all other values will fall between those ranges.  BTW, your darkest dark or lightest life, need not be at the extreme ends of the value scale.

Very beautiful, especially the grasses & wonderful broken colour on the barn walls & roof.

Lovely painting.  I also like barns or just old buildings.

We are in "Barn" mode! I am getting ready to do another one. Thanks for posting. I like looking at how other artists handle the subject. Very nice!
