Summer Photo

Original Photograph

And now, you can see the original picture I used to copy. Time for the critique: how does it compare to my painting? . . . Or rather, how does my painting compare to it? I believe I took the photograph myself, in front of the old barns right on our property. And the black-eyed Susans were grown from seeds sent by my penpal from Georgia! For that reason, and because it just seems like the essence of a farmer's life, I will always treasure this painting. Oh, and also because it won the Art Guild's calendar contest--more about that in a minute!
