BELFAST PAINTOUT


Farm Road (11 x 14 Oil on canvas panel)
This is my Belfast paintng for Bill Guffey's Virtual Paintout site.
I enjoyed hiking around Larne, Northern Ireland. Everything is so lush and green. I almost missed this image at 109 Deerpark Rd. It must have been late in the day because the image was very dark [Ref: Photo]. After bringing up the brightness on the monitor I discovered a potential plein air painting site, There is good composition with a nice light/Dark pattern. The old farm machinery in the foreground adds interest .
