Princeton Barn Progress

Here are a couple more progress shots of my new painting.  I'm struggling with the level of detail vs. just shape.  I've even moved on from the shot below and have done more work.  This was a tough subject to mess with regarding some of what I'm trying to learn.  So I'm doing a little backtracking and painting how I normally would approach this.  Well, sort of.  

Let's just say this is a learning experience.

Although I do love that little green tree on the right and the trees in the distance though.  More tomorrow.

My Other Life . . .

panel -- 4' x 8'

Not only am I having withdrawals from watercolor painting . . . but now I think I'm suffering from blog anxiety.  :)  So I had to post and at least show you that I'm not just sitting around eating junk all day.  (Well at least not ALL day, maybe just part of the day). This is the panel I'm working on -- one of the two major projects that have kept me busy. It's a naive style painting and will look old by the time I finish it. Our town seal will go in the circle at the top -- and the rest represents different buildings and areas of my town.  I'm planning to be done by the end of the weekend.  So if all goes as planned . . . next week = watercolors!  Yippee!
