Scene: A typical drive back from Columbus on 1-77 North
Task: Photograph as many barn scenes as possible from my passenger seat in my moving vehicle
I have never had luck with this before, but current technology allowed me to zoom in on the scenes most satisfactorily. Barns have really never been my thing...nor landscapes, for that matter. But....I am a believer in pushing myself. This particular scene really stuck my fancy with the barn disappearing into the horizon in the grayness of the day. I finished the work to my almost-satisfaction but the scene did not allow this painting to be read at any distance. And so I added a slight color temperature shift at the top of the roof. That seemed to do it for me.
And as for barns? Why do we enjoy them so much? I am not sure, but the simplicity of the shapes, and of the scenes, keep us in touch with our primitive agricultural roots. Enough said
Maybe another barn next year?.
