The Barn at Candlewood

Here's a new painting.  This was painted "plein air" in October while I was on my artist retreat in Wisconsin. I finally got it photographed and framed, and I dropped it off at the gallery yesterday.

It's a bit different for me.  I usually paint from my own photos in the studio, where I can take my time and tweek it all I want to get details right, etc.  Plein air forces you to paint fast and loose, on location.  I plan to do more of it in the spring.
