In Progress...Rustic Interior 11x14

   The hushed stillness of the barn's interior smelled of old hay and the pungent manure smell of cows. As minute particles of straw floated in the streaming rays of sunlight, I snapped a photo looking out of the barn's entrance capturing the pattern of light and shadow. Having every intention of returning to paint on location before disagreeable weather settled in, I planned a return visit, but got side-tracked. Sometimes, one has to use resources available, and so I did. There is no substitute for painting plein air, but I referred to my photo today and tried to capture what I felt that warm autumn day. Rustic Interior is not finished, and I already see details that need adjusting, but I'm liking what is happening here. Time is needed.
