Developing Shadows
I’ve done a lot of work on the pasture shadows now. The lemony highlights on the sun-filled grass make a great contrast with the dark areas. You may notice two extra shadows cast by something outside the picture. The one in the pasture is a tree, the other on the road is a barn (it’s actually in the background of “The Way Home.” This gives the picture an openness that widens your view of the scene. I’ve done a little more work on the trees (notice how it looks like you could walk under that dark, shady canopy?) and their shadows. The worn pavement marks have created a country road, well-traveled by passenger vans, turkey trucks, and buggies.

I guess looking closely at a painting is like analyzing a short story--there's a lot there under the surface if you know how to look.

What are those striped shadows beside the barn shadow? I thought that was the fence shadow.
The striped shadows by the road are the fence shadow; this is a bigger fence which I haven't put in yet. The other fence will get its shadows next.
Now I see the fence:).
