The last Autumn Sun. A hazy Saturday a.m. A neighbor boy was surprised at how much blue I used in the barn color. "It's RED when you get up close to it," he remarked.

Dude, hands down great work. #3 and #5 are personal favorites. Such amazing quality in all of these. Keep it up bro!
Definately gettin on thhe snowboarding tip. I'll go out paintin with ya too; can't wait to get home
Kyle, I live on Hwy. S and enjoyed your painting of the view, but am a bit sad that it doesn't seem to capture the vastness. I would suggest a sunny day with the large fluffy clouds passing overhead. The play of light and shadows across the hills and the depth of colors waiting to be captured in the valleys are breathtaking. Early May is a particular favorite of mine. Keep up the wonderful work.
Hello,
Yes, vastness. I agree, in revisiting that piece, that much more can be done. One work cannot tell the whole story, painting has to be episodic, meaning it just has to be done over and over again. I have painted that view four times now, once during sunrise with the fog raising under a pink sky. I will be back again, we just had our first good "cloud day" this weekend. There is many good places on Hwy S. This one is great, and then the further you get outside of Reedsburg the better. Thanks for the comment!
Cheers,
Kyle
