Old and Resting Farm

This scene is off Route 12 in Dixon. We were looking for some old farms or barns and came across this falling down building. It was difficult to get my arms around the scene. After several sketches I decided to paint a long view. Just a small hint of the delapidated structure can be seen. It was 'hurry up' once I started painting and it dried quickly. I just got through it before our group moved on. There is something that happens when you are rushed. Some brush stroke may be too wide or off target. The values may be off. As you look at it, new ideas arise. I love these accidents.
