Nice rich warm colors! It feels like a lazy day on the farm.

No it most certainly does not. You don't seem to wear a fence and have wheat for hair. *just kidding*

I love it! The colors are warm and inviting.

Lovely warm colors! It has sort of a Tuscan feel.

Hi Gene,

I am not a painter, but thought I might try to see a difference. Actually both "Home on The Farm" and "Garden of The Gods" had a similar feeling of unreality about them compared to some of your still life images...a slightly naive quality. ..which is not a criticism ...and I am most probably wrong. I like the warm safe feel of "Home on The Farm"

All the best
Denise

Denise........Thank you. Those 2 you mentioned are not my norm. I do like still lifes better. I just feel that I am in a rut by doing to many of them. I am not so proud of the 2.

It's a wonderful painting! But there are not many calm or lazy days on a farm (we live on a farm). This is peaceful and the colors are very nice.

I have sold work immediately after finishing them. I didn't enjoy that so much. I liked selling it for the money but I wasn't finished with it in my mind. I wanted to mull the image over, look for flaws or whatever. I'm likely to let a painting sit for a week or more to be sure of what I have done and what I can do from there. It can be difficult and slow but worth the time. It's never easy is it?

That said I think it's good to stray out of your comfort zone. For me that often means I paint something a little ugly trying out things I'm unsure about. The next painting will often be a better one incorporating what I have learned from my experiments.

David.... Your post sounds a lot like my own feelings about my paintings. However, I have waited for up to a couple of years if I still have a painting in my possession, and recognized something I needed to change. It is all a learning process. The painting I posted here was a practice for the next one I am doing.

Gene, the only thing it's missing is a huge bee hovering over it. I thought we were going to start a series! ;)

Only kidding. I love it! Nicely done.

Gene, very inviting. No, it doesn't look like you, but does reveal your love and memories of the farm.

Great job!

I love it! Sometimes we need to move outside of our norm. . That way we keep ourselves guessing thus challenging ourselves. I do this with a fish composition every now and then. Frustrates me to no end because it is such a struggle but I am usually pleased with the end result.

To look like you, I think you need to add the glasses and moustache. LOL

Nice warm and peaceful painting, I like it.

What do you all think about April sending the Killer BEE to attack my weary travelers ?

 

Andy PYRAH

April is the time of year when bees start waking up to polinate all the lovely fruit trees.

By the way, it looks like it must have sat on that car.
