Did this on Labor Day. I was going to originally paint in a different location, but when I got on the highway there was extreme traffic. I almost gave up on painting that day altogether after driving around for an hour and half looking for something interesting. I decided to pull out a small 10" x 8" canvas board and do a quick study. I'm glad I did it, as I think with this piece I felt like I was finally getting closer to accomplishing the atmospheric perspective I overdid in the previous painting.
This wasn't the most exciting scene, but I set to painting it regardless. I'm still trying to get the hang of atmospheric perspective, and in this case I think I went too far. It's just not working for some reason. Some of the colors came out rather nice, although looking at it now, I probably should have killed the intensity of the red on that barn a bit. It doesn't quite fit with the rest of the piece.
