Path to the Woodshed

Pastel painting done on Aug 31, 2007. This is the back side of an old (early 1800s) Greek Revival style farmhouse on the property of Hurd Orchard, in Orleans county. I was attracted by the large symmetrical shapes and the wonderful late summer light. The goldenrod framed path provided a natural lead in to the open door of the woodshed.

Chris, I really like the feeling of this painting, the handling of the shadows, the depth, and the palette of colors. A real winner in my book!
