Old Augusta Barn

Old Augusta Barn
Oil on panel, 14x11
Augusta Plein Air Fest
I have wanted to paint this beautiful old barn for years!  It is one of the amazing barns on the bottom road from Augusta to Washington - just east of the Meyer Farm.  I love the large scale and the wonderful open side on this barn.  I stood back close to the tree line - in the tall grass by the road, to get this all sketched in with pastels.  It was the day of the private estate paint, and I didn't have time to finish this one on site.  While the time and place is still fresh in my mind, I have finished this one today.  The day was cool and windy, with the winds blowing quickly up from the bottom land.  I found a windbreak for the next painting - another barn, making for an easier paint!  Painting number 496 in 496 days :)

    Fantastic, and I don't know how you manage to get so many paintings done, and done so well! Valerie

    The movement of your grass is brilliant! The contrasting barn red is glorious next to the green grass! Well done! Thanks for sharing!

    Your talent and your perseverance are both shining examples to the art community, Tammie. I am a fan of old barns and used to do oil paintings of them. Great going!

    Very good scenery, I like using the direction of the brushstrokes to recreate the meadow. Saludos
