One day while out antiquing, I walked into a very dark, old barn filled with all sorts of interesting items. These duck decoys sat on a ledge by a window. The sun was bright and warm and beyond the barn was a barnyard with chickens. The contrast of the dark inside and the bright outside caught my eye and I snapped several photos for future paintings.
Another place I am drawn to is junkyards. I love to see old rusty machinery. The structure and textures fascinate me. I am sure this old car was a prized possession in its day. Now it a sat in the scrapyard with other broken, rusty relics.
Brath & Hughes Fine Art Gallery
I am relatively new to plein air painting but I am having such a good time. I have met some wonderful artists as part of this group and I have enjoyed the lovely locations we have gone to. I am looking forward to spending more time en plein air.
This painting was done on the street across from Brath & Hughes Fine Art Gallery in Mechanicsburg, PA. The painting is on display there as part of the Mechanicsburg Architectural Show and Wine Walk. Stop by to see it.
