Sue's Shed, 8x10, Oil

This was the plein air piece that was my favorite from my Marshfield paint out!  At this point in the day a few other painting buddies had arrived and we staked out this shed in the backyard of where I was staying - positioning ourselves around it.  My favorite part is the buoys hanging on the shed.  Or maybe the shadow from the overhang of the roof. It just flowed... bing, bang, boom.
*A note about the DailyPainters.com contest... only one vote per IP address counts, so that's good!
This painting is not a Daily Painting per se, and I am reserving it for a summer art show entry.

  6. This is outstanding, along with your beach painting, clearly 2 of my favorites from you!!! I love when an artist can take a very ordinary scene, as in the shed, and turn it into a stellar painting; very well done! Oh, and isn't it nice when the paint just does what it's supposed to do?

    What fun Kelley. You packed a lot into that little painting and kept it spontaneous. I especially like the warm ground color peeking out around the edges.

  14. This is so painterly, I can understand what you mean by: it just flowed! The painting appears like that. It will also be easy for anyone to live with on a wall!
