This Friday, I finished a painting I’d been working on for almost a year now, on and off. It was a photo taken in a barn at Vankleek Hill in Ontario and I thought that the colour scheme and geometrical lines would lend themselves well to a painting. It already had a frame in the boarding and a subject in the stove, as it were. Today, the old stove has been thrown out but the hay barrel remains.

In the future, I may turn towards more “fantasy” oil paintings or watercolours, or even acrylics. But for now, this was my first experiment in oils. Not so bad, I think. What do you think of it? Be sure to leave a comment.
