Woolens Farm

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, Pennsylvania, United States) on 27 October 2010 in Landscape & Rural.

Mr. Woolens died several years ago. His farm is no longer used as a farm, though someone is living in the house. His daughter and son-in-law live nearby, but are not farmers. What will happen to this small farm?
Here is a tutorial by Dan Creighton on how I created this look.

Interesting and creative work! I like your disposition to try new post-processing techniques.

looks almost like a pencil drawing.....you've certainly moved a far bit from your flowers.......

@Susan: My flowers are nearly all gone for the season. Feeling a need to expand my horizon.

You put the technique to good use in this image Anita. Looks nice!

All would-be line and wash artists will be in despair . . those who fully know the magic flow of soft color from the camel-hair will gently smile. I have to admit it does look good, though !

Nothing is more certain than change, and yet there are times when that is a sad -- or at least a melancholy -- thing. I feel that especially when seeing old houses that are abandoned or torn down, and think of all the life that went into them.

Charming shot and delicious treatment. Perfect choice, with all the wonderful line work of the fence, etc. to accent the technique!

Very interesting treatment. Interesting how the siding stands out so much.

@Julie Brown: The siding is dark because I painted in color. I'm playing around with new subjects and post processing. I realize that in this photo it looks like the barn is standing on top of the fence. :-)

I love the sketch look and framing of the image.

@Barbara Kile: Thanks, Barbara. I'm not thrilled with it, but..... As I drive around I see LOTS of RED barns. I was such a bad hostess to you. My apologies. And, I've missed your posts!
