Try Something New

 A great view.

We have some wonderful parks near where I live and I think I have painted them all. My "Go To" Parks have many trees which is a lot of green (and much sameness). I feel a little bad in that I wish they had more structures (more shapes more colors) to paint. For inspiration I am going to try someplace new!

I am not an adventurer and travelling far to paint is not for me, but I think I need to look around more and find some new great places or scenes, perhaps with more structures.

Today I ventured someplace new--to a farm with a barn and animals. It was a lovely day if a bit warm in the sun. A few of us set up by the playground as that area had the best farm views. We heard constant chatter of kids playing and running. A few boys in bright tees even chased after the goats by the pond. 

It was a good day and I was happy with my red barn colors. Red against the green grass and green trees (complements) is so much fun. This photo of my painting on the right is as far as I got. My friend Candace suggested that I add a little tree before the small red barn, it was a good choice. I also didn't add all the fencing around the front and side of the barn. My whites were mixing with my reds, so I decided to let the painting dry and will go back and add the whites of the barn later.
