Tones of Barcelona, 2015
Acrylic on panel
11" x 14"

Another nice old tractor planted in a field on off of Road 12. Nobody was home so I ducked under some barbed wire to snap a few quick pics.

I've mainly been using synthetic brushes, but I bought a few natural bristle brushes and what a difference. The natural brushes really gave this painting a feeling like it was painted with oils.

Also, for this painting I opted to alter the colors from the photo. I desaturated the image on my screen so all I was looking at was a value photo (just lights and darks, no color). Then using a color scheme from a book "The Designer's Guide to Color Combinations" I mixed my paints to match those colors instead. I feel this helped simplify the painting and to give it a mood that otherwise wouldn't have shown up had I painted from the photograph's colors. I did add some blue which wasn't in the color scheme to give the painting a little life. Love it!

This painting won Best Painting in the 2015 Soap Lake Winterfest Juried Art Show.
