Description

This farm is a favorite of mine. I drive past it almost every day and I have painted it before in different seasons. It always makes a very nice painting simply because it, the farm itself, is a great composition, with interesting shapes and textures in the middle ground and fore ground, wonderful colors combinations and an always terrific background whatever the season. This time I decided to paint it in mid-summer and to add an element that I had never painted before...the trees in the very near foreground. I actually moved over into the trees near my vantage point to view the farm through the trees. I think the close, nearly silhouetted trees provide an enhanced focus on the farm and background. I created the background, a completely tree covered hill, with very simple shapes and a very limited color pattern. This guides your eye to the house and barn and the wonderful trees near the house.~J
