Day Twenty One - The Great Old Hovel

Buildings of this sort are more a natural feature than a manmade object.  I've been wanting to paint this for awhile, so I finally satisfied that longing.

After looking a the painting and the photo for a long time I think the sky is backward, it should be darker on the shadow side of the building.  The reference photo is deceptive, probably because the trees on the right darken the sky.

Speaking of trees, there's another subject for practice.  These look like they are about to release spores.

Tomorrow's agenda starts with hunting for tree photos.  It's snowed here so going out to photo isn't an option.
