The Red Barn

The Red Barn is meant to mimic style, colour and composition of Church Steeple since I wanted the two paintings to be a series. Both paintings are local scenes.

Old Lady

My in-laws have a painting of an old woman hanging in their house which I have always admired very much so I decided I would try to make my own 'Old Lady' painting using Acrylics. I found a picture of an old woman in a magazine and did this black and white sketch to get the values down on paper before starting with paint. I think what I admire the most in my in-law's painting are the very dark darks and the glowing highlights - something I hope to capture in my eventual painting.
