Back on the Farm


I have finished my lovely Laura's custom farmyard painting for her two little beauties' playroom! It is an 18 x 22 watercolor & ink and quite a large project compared to my normal 9 x 12's. It was extremely fun to create the sparkling environment and friendly farm friends!

I call it

"Late Afternoon"


Because it is so large and I don't have the best lighting in my old house, I took some close ups as well to show detail. Colors are more vivid and much brighter in person! I also used an iridescent medium that has a subtle, magical sparkle in various areas of the scene!

 


Not only does the farm have a bright red barn and lots of delicious apples, but it also comes equipped with a delectable strawberry patch and a sunflower garden, too!




 There are fun little creatures hidden about too - bumble bees, dragonflies, and even a mouse sneaking up on the barnyard cat!


 



Time to end a long day at work with a cup of blueberry green tea and a Ben Affleck movie! I will try harder not to be such a stranger. Wish you all well!


Most Affectionately Yours,
Rae
