This was a scene I had to paint. In the barn, there was a bucket hanging from a twisted old nail, accentuated by various shadows and lights hitting the worn floor boards.
The light that hit the bucket provided a nice transition to the glaring light that came through the boards from outside. The high key tones in the light complimented the deep, obscure tones in the enclosed barn.
Old structures are sometimes hard to paint. I think I was able to complete this painting by focusing on textures of the wood and the dark patterns of the slats of barn siding and juxtaposing them against the bright outside light.
