Rustic Interior 12x16

The hushed stillness of the barn's interior smelled of old hay and the pungent manure smell of cows. Minute particles of straw floated in the streaming rays of sunlight. I snapped a photo looking out the barn's entrance capturing the stark pattern of light and shadow. Having every intention of returning to paint on location before cold weather set in, I planned a return trip but got side-tracked. Sometimes, one is forced to used resources on hand. There is no substitute  for painting plein air, but I referred to my photo today and tried to capture what I felt and saw on that warm autumn day.
