Barn #26

Barn #26, Acrylic on Crescent Board, 15"x15", $500

A new barn. After a break, I decided to pay another visit to the subject of barns.  I love how they sit in the landscape.  In the winter, they offer reflective surfaces for the moonlight, making bright spots in an otherwise mostly blue-gray world.  I painted most of this piece during the 30 Day Challenge in January.  Today, I went back into it, covering a few patches that were too red or orange or white.  I think it works a bit better now. The original version can be seen below.

Artist's Note:  Crescent Board is an archival substrate much like mat board (about 3/16" thick) with watercolor paper adhered to it.  I gesso the board before I start painting.  Once I am happy with the painting, I coat it with an isolation coat followed by a satin UV-protective varnish.  The painting can be framed without glass.
