The home and farm of C.D. Mitchell is a plein air painting dream. ...so many views, so many options. I decided to paint barn#1 from a different angle, which changed everything. Moving meant a cooler spot. The morning had grown warm and the shade was cool where I set up the tripod. This angle allowed a nice view of the weathered tin roof and side of the barn. In the painting, the perspective of the far corner of the barn is off; should I return to this, major adjustments will need to made. I also would want a composition that would allow the wonderful shade tree in the foreground and a wider angle of background. To do that would mean that the barn would have to be smaller to include more space. I need to work on this one; I DO like this view. Returning here is a must.
