plein air: burcham's farm

11x14

My second week painting at Burcham's farm. This is the rear view of the farmhouse, which sits atop a hill. Next week I hope to do the front view...
I painted this on location--being intermittently bit by flies!--but I held off on the shadows until the next day, at home. I masked the tree trunk with tape so I could paint the shadow freely and sweepingly.
I had taken a picture that has a painter sitting by the tree and wanted to include her, but I couldn't find the photo!
