Condemned

Condemned is a copy of a photo that I took of a barn close to where I live. This barn has always drawn my eye as a possible art subject. I was fortunate to get the photo since soon after I took the picture the barn was torn down. I painted this piece using mostly mixed grays since I wanted the practice in mixing different tints of grays. This is also a mixed-media painting since I went into the painting with pen and ink to accent some textures.
