End of Day

End of Day
Oil on wood panel, 10x8

The idea for this painting came from a dear friend today - just when I couldn't decide whether to go grocery shopping or paint!  Well, I never did get those groceries - so I'm hoping the snow isn't too bad tomorrow!  This painting was a study in values and "marrying" the colors of cool and warm by sprinkling them around the scene.  I brought the composition together with reference I had from the civil war reenactment and my vast supply of barn photos.  I rarely do this, I normally just paint from reference, all the parts already in the shot.  This painting is good practice for the next one I have started in the same theme!  Painting number 763 in 763 days :)

    Normally a snow scene make me feel cold but the warm light coming from the barn gives me a warm cozy feeling. Beautiful work, excellent composition. I like the old weathered looking barn. Good idea to skip the groceries. I'm suppose to be doing that right now too ;) Thanks for sharing, happy Paint Party Friday :)

    It's inspirational! Love the warm & cool colors. I'm especially attracted to the warm lights coming from the barn glowing onto the snow.
    Thanks for sharing your talents.

    This is so impressive with the different way the light is shown, the light flowing out from the barn, the light from the snow reflection and the light in the sky.
