        A wonderful portrayal of color & light. The variety of textured brushstrokes work well & reveal your signature style – Very Effective !

            It is indeed an archetypal, bucolic scene, but it is rendered in your wonderful, unmistakable style. On this large screen I can see the beautiful textures in the trees and sky, which add to a sense of movement in the latter. The buildings are excellently painted and I especially like the wheat(?)which has a great feeling of movement.

                Love the barns in this one Gary! The wooden planks are painted so well in the one on the right and love the colors throughout.

                    I love your brushstrokes. Very lovely. It may be a cliche, but it is a beautiful one. :-)

                        Thanks Michael. Sunshine always makes it easier.

                        Thanks Bizzibee. I appreciate your kind remarks. It is fun to be back painting in oils with fuller brush strokes.

                        Thanks Wes. I like old barns. Reminds of drives out into the country as a kid.

                        Thanks Heather. Glad that you liked it.

                        Thanks Humberger. I only noticed at the end that it was a “cliché” and then I laughed at myself.

                        Thanks Ann. I was pleased with how the painting developed.

                        Thank again to everyone. Gary

                            It’s a lovely, well done painting. All the forms work so well together. Very solid images, good composition.

                            Glorious glowing colour as usual. A great feast for the eye.

                                    This is really wonderful, Gary, however you may define it. Your appreciation of the light and rural scenery is evident and honest.

                                        Thanks Everyone. I was afraid this was going to be a bit too corny. (It is a corn field.)

                                        Thanks Dorrart. I added the two trees after the initial block-in. I was afraid they might look pasted-on.

                                        Thanks John. I do appreciate chroma.

                                        Thanks Laura. I went to your website. Very nice work. I hope to get out and do more plein air this year myself.

                                        Thanks Donna. It was an honest effort.

                                        Thanks NTL. That comes with getting older? Not.

                                        Thanks again, Gary

                                            Lovely painting Gary, the colours all looks so bright and cheerful yet also realistic and natural looking.
