Day #5 Barn - Aitta

Day #5  "Aitta"


22x15 cm, (8.5x6 in) oil on wood

Below is a reference photo I took a year ago. These barns are located here in a museum area on an island. They have a cute form and are tempting to paint but they are in the forest so there never is much light.

Lovely subject matter and very well painted, I would have included the foreground trees to frame the barn.

Struggling to finish today's (6th) painting, argh!

Thanks! I'm so happy you mentioned the trees, I actually didn't even notice them in the photo when painting. Isn't that weird! It is amazing how blind we come to our own paintings!! I think I will add the tree as you say, I like it better as it is in the reference.

This challenge is a big struggle, I'm doubting too and thinking of taking a break .. but instead for a moment I will practice snow brushstrokes daily. It will be useful in the end, I hope. At least to go on a few more days.
