Yes, the perspective is subtle enough to verge on looking stupid, but I think my little bit of texture and detail saves it.David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-29869410155501042452009-09-29T23:28:49.405-07:002009-09-29T23:28:49.405-07:00This would be a tough composition judging by the t...This would be a tough composition judging by the tricky perspective and the fact that the picture plane is divided nearly in half horizontally. The barn is almost centered, and in other hands would've looked like a toddler's block structure. I think if I were to tackle it, I probably would've wimped out and moved the barn to the right and shifted the perspective to make the pitch of the roof less tricky. But I'm basically a coward so there you are.

I love Golden Open for plein air, however, I mix it with regular titanium white so the it does not take too long to dry. Golden Open on my palette is wonderful in that it does not crust over in warm or breezy weather,David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-7382055633077478242009-09-22T16:25:53.218-07:002009-09-22T16:25:53.218-07:00Hi David,

These are soft body. I am trying a another sort of "style" right now...dabbling a little with a more stylized approach to a scene and struggling with it. If you have time go and see it...<br />ginnystiles@blogspot.com It's like every time I go back to acrylics I have to re-learn it again! I do enjoy it very much, however. I love the barn reflection in your painting.Ginny Stileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398435606793199775noreply@blogger.com
