Linton Barn

© Robin Edmundson, 'Linton Barn', watercolor, 18 x 24 inches.


We came upon this barn while we were out birding near Goose Pond, south of Linton.  I was inspired by the many contrasts: 

  • angles & curves
  • light & dark
  • blue & gold
  • lines & space

I decided to emphasize those contrasts, so I did a couple of drafts to test out colors and composition and got some great feedback from my critique group.   [I can't tell you how important it is to get feedback on your work!]   Then I dove in.  I'm especially happy with all of the textures.    I'll be submitting this one to this year's Hoosier Salon.  Fingers crossed it will be selected for the show.
