Inspiration for those vertical lines on the barn from Susan's peppermint mill. Sarah sez I can jazz up the sky or the road, or both, but have to do at least one. At this point I think we will see a cloud tossed sky and a golden glow to the road. Subject of course to, to, well shit google sez there is no muse of painting, so I guess I am on my own, with the advice of my panel or experts of course.
There's a yellow haziness on that grass that makes it feel like a hot summer day. Brilliant! I think the detail in the grass needs some balancing detail in the sky, the road, or both--but not to the same degree as the grass. That would be too much! I'm not sure about the roofline on the right of the barn, but I'm sure you'll work that out.
ReplyDeleteSo you agree with Sarah, the sky or the road, or both, but not neither.
DeleteExactly...not neither. That's too empty. But don't go crazy with the pattern. Let the grass stay the star.
DeleteI can’t really see the detail on the barn, that needs to be painted up to the level of the surrounding area imo. And those great swaths of nothingness are pretty existential for a 19th century country road. It’s a painting —- put some paint on it!
ReplyDeleteHow about some ruts, some gravel, something along the sides - perhaps a dead possum.
ReplyDeleteThe barn as alien, so creepy, don't ya think. The landscaping looks good. Can't wait to see what happens to the sky and road.
ReplyDeleteAre u saying that’s it for the road?
