It's a Beautiful Morning ...

I just had to get these photos just now, looking past the barn to the field and park beyond.



These two images are about the same stage, just different lighting/times of day when the photos were taken. I have most of the local color down. Now it's a matter of finishing the details, and taking a good, long look to see how dark I would like to take the background, and integrating the foreground with the background.
I have been doing double duty with animals, helping a neighbor, while she is away, with her two horses, two dogs and cat. So I haven't had as much time to paint, but it's coming along in the right direction.

Thank you for dropping by!!

  7. I looked also on your "work in progress" for this painting! Although, you have not yet quite finished (what a patience!) and looking on the two different presentations here and although you don't need may advice, I have a preference for the one where you feel the background a bit darker. :-)
