This is a farm portrait that I was commissioned to paint recently. This client wanted a simple scene of this lovely old Iowa farm, with its iconic old red barn and traditional foursquare style farmhouse. They decided on including the large central tree that the drive runs around between the barn and farmhouse, under a blue summer sky full of white clouds.
Below are images of the rough sketch and a few views of the painting in progress.
The painting is almost done at this point.
