Something new is coming...

Ok so *someone* pointed out the other day that my house will look silly when it is fully of hundreds of watercolor paintings all hanging next to each other. So- I am going to start branching out more. I've worked with oils, charcoal, and pastels in the past but now I think I am going to *really* try to become better at these things. So when I was in VA for 4th of July I took lots of pictures to paint so that is what I am going to focus on next. I'm starting an oil today of one of the barns on my grandfather's farm. I've been practicing taking pictures at various times of day and I think the lighting in the one I am working on next is perfect, so that is what I am trying to capture in the oil painting. So here we go...
