This timeless barn scene was right off our porch at the Dalton Gang house. The porch light gave me enough light to work with from the yard, while looking at the scene before me. I never use artifical clip on lights when painting nocturnes, I just don't like the strong, blue light they shed. They interfere with the way my eyes translate the colors of the illuminated objects in the landscape. It was so warm and peaceful as three of us painted this place - and a glass of red wine added to my comfort! We started later than planned since we couldn't pull ourselves away from the bluegrass gospel music at the Salem Country Church, but it was totally worth it! Music, fellowship and the nostalgic beauty of this place - who could ask for more? This painting might be one of my favorite nocturnes! Painting number 1394 in 1394 days :)
