The Old Farmhouse

The Old Farmhouse
Late in the afternoon across the wheat field the house stands in the distance,
the last bit of evening sun making it stand out like a jewel among
the golds and greens of the landscape.

    wowie! like a jewel is right - and you've really captured that! i esp like how the deep purpley blues of the sky contrasted with the golds of the field help the house glow more - lovely, lively work!

My Heart Sings

My Heart Sings Sometimes when I see something beautiful I get light hearted and tears well up in my eyes and "My Heart Sings". It sings with the joy of knowing that I am able to see the things that my God has made. It sings to know that he knows me by name. It sings because I am blessed to live in such a time as this. I have been absent for a few days and have posted a few older paintings because I have been sick. My husband has been in the hospital with pneumonia. We went on vacation to San Diego and both came back home sick. I have lost some followers and that makes me a little sad but thanks to all of you who have stuck by me. Hopefully I will be posting new paintings daily once again. 14x11 acrylic on canvas panel $140 To purchase contact me at angelasacrylics@yahoo.com

Adding some darks back in for contrast I paint in the background with titanium white raw umber mixed with ultramarine ...
