New England Barn in Autumn

May 26, 2010 - 24" x 30", acrylic on canvas (Sold)


It's been awhile since I completed a new painting. Partly because the rest of my life has been very busy, and partly because this painting has absorbed a lot of time in the details, especially the stone foundation and the trees in the foreground on either side of the barn.

I was given a set of Liquitex, heavy body acrylic paints and chose to use them on this painting. It's probably becauase I'm so used to Golden, I had a hard time adjusting to the properties of the paints and the way they blended, so I ended up redoing a lot of things. But in the end, I'm very satisfied with the result.
