The Way Home

Acrylic Painting

Here is a peaceful painting I did from the road where we used to live. It's called “The Way Home” since this buggy will soon be passing our farmhouse about half a mile down the road. I like how the background farm came out, with the long shadows of the evening sun. I did the trees solely with a fan brush, which has an interesting effect. The buggy was a challenge, and I think it and the well-worn pavement came out nicely too.
On J Beachy Photography,  you can see the original photo I used for this painting. What a beautiful picture! The barn in the background belongs to a family cattle farm. The same family also ran the fishponds in my painting “Forest Fire.” I can just imagine walking down that road again!
