Painting Description

This romantic and colourful Mennonite farmhouse, with wash on the line, sits in peaceful solitude on a country hillside. I employed the style of Richard Schmid, an artist from Chicago. It is an illustrative approach that tends to showcase just aspects of a scene.

A friend that I have made through Painting Doctor has coached me in my use of Photoshop. This new freedom has allowed me to more easily create montages that formerly I had done by eye. I am enjoying the freedom of trying various approaches to subjects that capture my eye.
