Original Creation

The old red barn

MHK 07 May 2020

I like the barn but I'm not wild about the rest. Would welcome suggestions from the talent on this list

The barn is a real success!!

The tree is too surreallistic I think MHK, it would be better (my opinion) to paint it in front of the barn and not half behind it. A few shy bushes might help create depth also!

I agree, was trying for depth but it didn't work

Keep dazzling us!!!! Stay safe and happy painting!

MHK, barn is great!
I'll support Voy about the tree/trees. Brunches are awesome! do not change them. it will be easy to damage.
Also a tip think about horizon line and value difference between sky and gravel/sand.
The barn is amazing and so complex in the texture and in the color and darkness.

I found few photos on internet that may be helpful for you to decide what direction you'll find suitable.
