Wanting to paint a snow scene, I re-visited a favorite place near where we lived for more reference and a little pre-study. Fortunately these barns are still standing and I liked the way the morning sun lit up their ends and the siloes. The snow was of a much deeper bluish shade and this I really wanted to capture in my painting so I took care to mix the correct tones before finishing with the darker trees in the background. I started the painting in mid-winter but only recently finished it! Size is 9" x 12", oil on canvas.

Have you painted these before ? I had that Deja vu feeling....
Yes I have actually - good spot! In that area, there aren't many farms left so I keep coming back to this one again and again - wish I could actually get up close and explore proper.
