Vernon Farm Shed, Acrylic, 11x14


Went to a farm that had a pre Civil War barn. So much to paint! Finally settled on this interesting shed. Used 5 colors; white, ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, alizarin crimson, hansa yellow opaque. Forgot our thank you cards so just drew a little sketch for our thank you note. Little cooler today, about 50F, only a slight wind. So the Golden open acrylics were still wet when I went home. Luckily the rain held off and we had mostly sun. Wore my old safety glasses that don't get dark in the sun. I like plein air painting because you're outside and you don't need a studio.
