Once in a while, I explore the same composition a bunch of times with different colors, different lights. Working in a series with a strong composition lets me focus on other things than the shapes and composition; it frees me up to explore a lot of other things.
In this series, I painted these five haybales in different light/times of day. It was a lot of fun. Over the next few days, I'll show you my favorites.
This first one started out with a 'What if I started with a wash of neutral gray?' It quickly developed into a sunrise/dawn scene and I just went with it. I walk at sunrise a lot in the summer and the light is very familiar to me.
