Morning on the farm.

Morning on the farm is 60 % real and 40% fantasy landscape. Took elements from a farm I have pictures of  . Then removed fences used existing light directions and pushed it till it was in the early morning. Did some artistic license to create a painting that is very reminiscent of an actual real place but tweaking the elements to fit a composition  that gives a romantic feeling of a sunrise on the farm.








I hope you enjoy it.

It is an acrylic  on a 14 X 18 stretched canvas.

Lone Windmill Meets the Morning

I took snippets from various sources to make this painting. I aimed to make a western feel  to it  . 


To me, It portrays the possibilities and beauty of a new day.  Calm and relaxing as the new day arrives. 

This is an acrylic on a 14 X 18 stretched canvas.  

Hope you enjoy looking at it.

Old Forgotten Farm on the Hill

This is a multi reference painting.  One was a field of bluebonnets from a low angle and another was  old fence with a made up farm house from a sketch. 





 I tried to match the different blue a sky is from the high desert blue sky.  I had fun with it thats the main thing.



This is an acrylic on a 10 x 20 gallery wrapped canvas.

Hope you like it and thanks for dropping by.

Forgotten Barn

Forgotten  Barn is a  early spring painting . Reminds me of some of the old homesteads we use to find when I was a kid. This is a composite  from 3 sources. Barn from one, misty field another, and barbed wire fence another. These old barns are gradually  fading away just like the American farmer gradually fading away with the family farm.










  Acrylic  on gallery wrapped canvas  16 x 20.  Finished February  2013
