Description
18x24" 45x60cm acrylic on hardboard
My recent painting "Farm Yard in Early Winter" is one of those paintings that I like better the more I see it, so I decided to make a bigger painting along similar lines. When that wasn't working out all that well I decided to go back over it and take a similar approach to colors as I did in "Frosty Morning in Sparrows Square". I don't think it's as good as either one of those, but, oh well.

Thanks for your comment. I usually paint scenes from an imaginary country and I picture these as barns and sheds rather than the house itself, so that might explain why it's not typical.

Thanks again for all your comments. Atmosphere is pretty much all I'm looking to create.

Loving the use of light on the far background! Works so well with your use of strokes

Thanks. Unlike watercolors I used to do, where the white of the paper behind the paint brings light into the painting all by itself, I have to put the light in myself with this type of painting and do so where ever I can, usually by making things a bit misty in the distance.

I love it!!Those fly away,dashy strokes are so lively ...and I think exciting!!Especially when the buildings look so solid!!!The snow looks wonderful!

Thanks again. The challenge is to make the buildings look like buildings, but not out of place compared to the sketchy style of the trees and such, basically I just can't try very hard...which I'm pretty adept at.
