8x10 oil on panel click
here to bid (starts at $60)
This summer I'm going to be doing a few art shows, and I realized that I need to start painting a few larger paintings or I'm going to have to figure out a way to display 6x6 unframed paintings....little easels are ok for some of them, but then i'm at the mercy of the weather. I can frame some, but that gets expensive and people like to frame their own works anyway. I have lots of nice wood frames for 8x10 though, so I'm going to start to do more paintings in that size, and maybe a really big one every couple weeks since those tend to draw a crowd to your booth, but don't sell very often.
Today I painted a farm from down the road. I love this grouping of red barns so you will likely see it again, but I wanted to see if I could pull it off with the clear blue sky and still make it interesting. There was not a cloud in the sky that day so it was a crystal clear flat blue. I figured the palette knife always makes it interesting, so here is Ohio red barns on an autumn day.
