Milk Barn in Autumn

Milk Barn in Autumn
Oil on panel, 12x6
"Looking Out My Front Door" Contest

While trying to decide what to paint today, an artist friend of mine posted an online contest challenge - "Looking Out My Front Door".  The main rule is the view must be from within 50 feet of the front door, anything visible from there.  I have been wanting to paint the milk barn with the fall foliage, so that is my first view.  There are two others that were amazing today with the heavily overcast sky and red pin oaks in the foreground - so I may well do them tomorrow.  This is the first day in a week that I could actually have a little quiet time - where I could be the boss of my time, no other commitments until 3:45.....and then I was constantly on the road as the "taxi driver" until just now.  I sure need to get some more panels ready - maybe I can get those done by the weekend.....painting number 304 in 304 days.  The leaves are dropping quickly now, I hope I can capture all of their beauty before they all hit the ground!
