Coming to Life

And here is the real heart of Amish country: horse in the pasture, buggy clackety-clacking down the road, pedestrians enjoying a beautiful day. But it’s the fence I get compliments on when people look at the picture! I think it’s the sharp detail combined with a vibrant dark & light contrast. You think of a fence being only one color, but it’s really a whole range of blues. I’m more impressed with the gate myself; you can feel the light dancing on the worn, crooked bars. I had to sketch the buggy several times before I got it the right size, but it came out perfectly. I'm very pleased with the painting; I'd say at this point it's the second-best of all I've done!
