Milk Barn in Winter


Sometimes, I first work out a painting in a sketch, then transfer what I learned into a larger painting.  This is the same location I painted yesterday in my sketchbook in ink and watercolor.  The paper was very rough leading to a fresh and energetic painting.  Longing to work in oil, I chose a smooth panel to paint my composition onto.  The painting seems to unfold effortlessly, because yesterday's effort is still fresh in my head.  The snow is melting as the temperature rises, and I am making the most of it while I can!  Time spent in nature painting is time well spent indeed.  Painting number 5080 in 5080 days.
