Bank Barn in Early Spring, Late Afternoon 12x9 pastel, copyright 2012
Hopefully no one is tired of this barn - I certainly am not. It's funny how it seems to be constantly changing, even though I see it every day. Right now I really only have this one view that is good, but as we are slowly clearing the area around it, I should be able to get different perspectives.
There is an artist named Kevin Macpherson who created a series of paintings of the pond outside his house. Over the course of five years he ended up with 386 small paintings. I had thought that this might be somewhat obsessive of him, but I can now see that over the course of my life I could easily end up doing the same with this barn. Perhaps there is a least a little bit of obsessiveness in every artist.

I like this version a lot. It seems to have more depth and strength some how.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue! I think the contrast between the orange light on the barn and the blue in the sky is what made this one a bit more dramatic. I'm going to have to keep that in mind for future reference!
