"Farm Shed - Saanich" oil 12 x 16

A studio painting of the shed at the edge of the property,  Hunt Valley Farm. The winding path and the thick leafy trees caught my attention, apart from the shed of course...
Yes, I simplified the scene somewhat - (artists are good at shifting trees around) but the painting IS true to the spirit of this farm.
I like colour, so I've used a variety of yellows and greens, subdued into submission!

Well that was just on of the ideal sheds I've ever seen! Very well done, nice work! I love the temper of the color that made the whole thing looks pretty cool and attractive. And you bet that right, the leafy tree is simply attractive, it looks very ideal!
