The Barn in Winter

This subject was from a photo I took in upstate New York somewhere along the Thruway between Albany and Utica. The building seemed to be a little worse for wear but still holding up.

The picture is a 6 by 8 inch watercolor painted on cold press paper.

The Second Challenge - September 2016

When I finished the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge in January, 2014, I said I'd do it again however, I didn't really think I would. So, here I am again but better prepared. Before this challenge started I picked out 40 photos I thought would make good subjects for painting. That alone got rid of most of the stress that I experienced last time.

The table, the food and the cook, Doris Nielson.
