I was inspired by the bright, vibrant colors Irit uses in her paintings so I thought I'd paint this rather ordinary barn with some saturated color - a bright orange barn with turquoise-ish mountains as a backdrop. Her sketchbook theme is "places" so I choose this barn that is close to home because I thought the roof-lines and shapes were interesting.
Fabulous bright colors. The field is so beautiful. Your right Irit's book does lead you into doing something with vibrant colors and I love your interpretation and choice. Well done.
ReplyDeleteVery Impressionist like colours, pure and radiant! Very atmospheric too! Great piece!
ReplyDeleteThis is so very colorful, with a wonderful atmospheric quality as a result...nice, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI was in East Texas last weekend and the fields are this brilliant mass of yellow flowers, you've brought me back to the country with your beautiful colors.

Wonderful vivid colors, Michelle! I really love the deep violets in the doorway, and the way cool light seems to radiate from within.

ReplyDeleteYou are right about being interesting. This painting captures me, reminds me of an old home, long gone, yet in my heart. Thank you.....old pajamas
There is something about barns that makes them great subjects for paintings. You've proved that once again with a super painting, full of color, feeling, spirit and talent. Mahvelous, Michelle.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, you created a bright, colourful painting that is so Irit in it's depth and feeling. Great job.
ReplyDeleteVery well done composition Michelle! Reminds me of pleasant memories around the Ohio countryside.
