This is the first painting from our recent trip to the Pacific Northwest. We came across this farm just after getting through the coastal mountains on a little-used road. I loved the green door and the reddish roof. Changed the foliage in foreground to lead the eye into the picture using a dirt path. This was done with a hard pastel underpainting and alcohol, my preferred method of working these days. I love painting subjects things like this! Beautiful, but not sentimental (I hope!).
