4"x6" oil on raymar panel. You can't help but notice these barns when driving along Orcutt Road (the back way into San Luis Obispo). The side of the road goes like this: vineyard, vineyard, vineyard, vineyard, vineyard, vineyard, ranch, vineyard, vineyard, vineyard, vineyard, vineyard, etc. Just a sliver of this small ranch now makes its way down to the road, so here it is with a section of vineyard in the foreground. It seemed a nice juxtaposition with the autumnal colors of the vines and the moon like surface of this ranch lot. When painting these landscapes I have been experimenting by bringing different greens onto my palette. Sap green, cadmium green, permanent green... it's been a fun trial with some obvious evidence displayed in the foreground.
