This is from a photo of a barn in Sequim, Washington. I saw it on the Sequim Outdoors FB page, but now that I'm looking, I can't find who took it to attribute it, so my apologies for no credit!
I liked this one for several reasons:
1. Foreground/background challenge of trees, barn, grasses, fence.
2. I like barns. This one was all weathered gray except for that one patch of faded red. It looks like somebody thought to paint it and then reconsidered. A long time ago!
3. I just bought a tiny "rigger" brush and wanted to try it out on something like this metal fence or some phone lines or something. It's pretty cool!
4. Clouds. I need to paint some.
It's obvious from this that I know next to nothing about painting clouds, and completely overworked them, leaving not enough white nor highlights nor enough darks. But...practice.

I love the foreground fence.
