New: “Trees”

Came across this scene years ago. Loved the old barn, weathered in a way that gave the thing a bluish green tint. I took a picture of the location and have looked at it many times over the years, but never worked up a composition in preparation for painting. Looking at this reference again the other day, I realized what I like most about the scene were the shadows of trees outside the composition. The dramatic shadows crawling up the barn were the subject, not the barn itself. “Trees” 24 x 20
