Brian, after an amazing and fun workshop, I am quite troubled by this painting. Its in the bedroom so I go to sleep looking at it and wake up looking at it.
I am pleased by the overall color palette, the values, the brushwork. The most disturbing paint is the color on the highlight areas of the truck. I was trying to repeat the sky color in the highlights on the barn, the truck and foreground.
The problem for me is having a COOL Color instead of the WARM - highlights on the truck. I am tooo reminded of a cheap, fad, solarization technique done to photograhs.
Please comment. Warm it up? Let it bother?
Thanks! Best Steven

OFF TO BOONE, NC
Off to Boone, North Carolina on Thursday... my 4th visit there to do 2 workshops for all my friends there.I will be introducing a new painting program for them involving 4 steps instead of 7. The program is called "A Fun Approach to Painting" and is a more immediate, direct, fun method which I have been experimenting with over the last 6 months. Should be lots of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again... a great bunch of people and a great place to visit. Brian
