| The barn is done, and not too well. |
I made reference to that barn earlier this month. It came out okay, but I'm still having trouble with the "greens". Green is a difficult color for me, I have about 6 or 7 different tube of greens, but usually not one I want to use, so I mix them up.

| House. That's the name of this project. |
Here is the photo I'll work from, I took the photo yesterday afternoon, Linda spotted the house just a few miles from where we live. It looked to me like it was begging to be a project. Let us all hope the house didn't make a bad decision.

| The start |
You probably cant see it, but I've traced the house and started work on the sky. I always use color that is too light, I don't use enough paint! I had an instructor in night school that said I should do childrens books since I always had pastel paintings.
The real problem is that I'm cheap, cheap, cheap. If I used 'fresh' paint - right from the tube - the color would come out better. The paint in my work box was squeezed about a year ago, so I'd have to be really careful to make if come out right.
We'll see as this project continues if 'fresh' makes a huge difference.
