UPDATE

The client wanted a little more river, a little softer cloud shapes,

and dividing the fields with a few roads.

I do like the clouds and the fields and all turned out well.

Next - dry and varnish and it's off to its forever home!

And this . . .

This painting of the barn started life as a flat, lifeless painting.

I'm not sure yet if this is much of an improvement

but it is showing more life than before.

I used a palette knife to apply pure white paint to the roof

and ended up with a brightness that gives it a

reflected quality.

I like that.

May be more to play with but it's got a bit more action to it at least.

When the day just seems to be slipping away . . .

Take an hour and paint something.
