Barn 2-Drugans -8x10 

Focusing on a single subject matter can give you a new and interesting perspective. There's never just one best side, the perfect angle or the right time of day for lighting.

Barn 5-Drugans 8x10

By trying a series of paintings using the same subject matter from different point of views makes me look at my painting differently.

Barn 3-Drugans 8x10

From close up textures, to far away settings makes me see the details differently.



I so want to put in every detail of the weathered wood but the painting style I'm trying to achieve doesn't call for it.

Still working on the large amounts of green foliage. It's difficult to not try and paint each leaf and instead create the desired effect with larger brush strokes.









The one easier part of doing a series is I can reuse the colors on my palette.

Barn 6-Drugans 8x10

This was the last one in this series and I think I prefer the distant views for a quick paint. I'm now over half way with 57 small paintings.







Can anyone guess where this barn is located? Golfers may recognize this view from the 13th hole at Drugan's Castle Mound Golf Course in Holmen, Wisconsin.
