Barn Shadows--Original American Landscape Oil Painting

The shadows on the barn were the focus of this 8 x 10 oil painting. Pre-mixing colors and concentrating on values was the inspiration for creating it. A photo taken last fall of the Brown Farm Barn at the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge in Washington State was my resource. My palette was limited to Quinacindone Red, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Yellow, Sap Green, and Titanium White. Good practice and a fond memory resulted from this effort.
