The more I looked at yesterday's painting, the less happy I was with it, so here it is with changes.  I added the chickens and changed a couple of other details.  I think it's definitely an improvement!  Needless to say, yesterday's painting no longer exists. . .

A friend of mine took photos of this little girl and sent them to me--a great subject!  I was attracted by the lighting and the feel of the hot summer day.

Here's another view of a couple of Tammy's chickens. They are such a great subject--no wonder so many people paint them! I hope to do more myself! I was thinking more about brushstrokes on this on and on keeping the color as rich as I could--sometimes it's really hard to not let the colors lightened with white from getting too flat and chalky. I'm not sure how to avoid that!

This little painting is from a visit earlier this week to the farm I grew up on. The sun was about down and it was so quiet. Some of the sounds you hear are the horses snorting or their tails swishing, a hawk calling and the sprinklers watering the fields. The light is beautiful as it stretches over the fields. I'd like to spend more time learning to capture that!
