Day #17 The Old Home Place, 5x7, oil

My goal today was to paint an old Maine farmhouse using these two reference photos.

I began laying in the colors but the house looks too new and the yard is too neat.  I want the look of an old farm. 

The Old Home Place, 5x7, oil

This is the look I wanted.  Fields that need mowing, yard overgrown - an old farmhouse that may be empty except for the memories. 

This painting is sold. 

Thank you for visiting.
