As you can probably tell, this plein air piece is the same view as the one in the miniature I posted yesterday. This piece is a bit bigger than that one -- probably about 6" x 8". (It shows up a little too contrasty, at least on my computer screen, but you get the general idea.) It definitely met the criteria I had set up for myself: work quickly, totally on-site, skip the detail. I'm still learning to handle the materials, but I'm having a lot of fun!
Also! After having gotten a little practice at this "blogging" thing courtesy of DPP, I decided to turn my "Drawing Board" page on my Civil War Fine Art website -- a page I was using to show the things I am currently working on from my primary series, which I call Beyond the Battlefield -- into a blog of my own. So, while there's not too much on there just yet, I invite you all to stop by http://amylindenberger.blogspot.com/, when you have a chance.

I love this barn, and you have painted it beautifully!
