Spring on the Farm - 12 x 12 landscape painting

Spring on the Farm - 12 x 12" oil on cradled panel

This barn appeals to me because of the angles of the split rail fence, barn and field. Many colours make for an interesting painting in my opinion. I'm a fan of subtle colour differences in paintings, which challenges my thinking and painting style.

I've attempted to use a more colours than I normally do to create more interest in this painting. The painting technique I'm using for trees is evolving and I'm quite pleased with the result.

Green is a hard colour to work with because if there is too much, it's often too intense, so the trick it to use less, tone it down and still have it read as grass.
