        I was Googling casein paintings and saw this one, which I don’t think I ever posted in Landscapes. I found the original painting. It was very dirty and looked faded. I washed it off, and it looked acceptable, so I rescanned it.

        Casein
        10″ x 8″
        300 lb cold press watercolor paper

        C&C is welcome.

            Well done Richard.
            The barn kind of sparkles….was there a technique
            you used for that?

                That may be due to the texture of the paper. It seems to have been enhanced by the scan. I’ll take a photo of it tomorrow and see if it looks the same as the scan.

                    Nice use of the road as a entry to the painting. The lone barn invokes the lonely feeling of the prairie. Gary

                        Thanks for the observation, Gary. The idea of loneliness or being alone is exactly what I was trying to convey.

                            You’ve conveyed the feeling of loneliness very well. I think scans sometimes make paintings look as if they were done in pointillism!

                                It was a bad scan. I scanned it again, and that sparkly effect is gone.

                                    Your second scan looks better.
