Tobacco Barn Painting en Plein Air

This is this morning's plein air painting. It's a 9x12 acrylic on canvas board.

Today's challenges:

• I thought it was much warmer when I went out this morning, but it wasn't!
• Frozen fingers make it very difficult to paint straight lines
• Frozen ears and face is very annoying.
• Finding the right composition was hard at this scene...of which I think this could've been much better.

Things I learned:

• I painted the whole composition in first...no more "greyed out" color.
• Shadow on rusty tin roofs can have brilliant color.
• if cold or windy...bring gloves and toboggan

The jpg. of this painting looks much more purple than the original, I'll need to get a better digital pic next time.
