This the second of two plein air studies I did at the Miller’s Memorial Day weekend at Alta Lake.  As I said, the color used to paint the barn and the wooden patio tables was the same, so there’s a color harmony between the two studies (see the still life in the study posted yesterday).

The roof bothers me in this composition…perhaps I should have shortened it, and had it angle open from left to right, showing more background trees?  Maybe I’ll paint over this one and try some things.  That’s one nice thing about these plein air studies, they can be great starting points for other ideas and works.  Once you capture the basic colors/values of a scene, you can play with other compositional ideas.
