Country Barn in Snow II

12x6 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper done week before last as a class exercise in painting snowy landscapes with barns. I had painted a first version of this imaginary scene years ago. Old fence posts poke through snow to point the viewer's eye upward as do the smaller branches and bare trees. These compositional additions also tie the foreground to the background in this vertical landscape. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith
