Welcome to my September 2017 painting challenge in which I will be posting a new painting everyday for the next 30-days (aka 30-in-30). This will be my 5th time doing a 30-in-30.  

So, here my first painting of the challenge. This little painting was completed back in July when I stumbled across this nice lookin' barn right beside a vacant public school yard (Centennial Central School - North of London, Ontario)

For the duration of this challenge, I have chosen the theme 'Rural Impressions' and hope my paintings can serve as a glimpse into country life in Southwestern Ontario, Canada.  Growing up on a dairy farm, I have a deep nostalgia for country life (despite now being a bonafide city slicker).   This is actually not my first time doing a series of farm paintings.  Back in high school, during OAC (grade 13) art class, we had to choose a theme and then create 6 art pieces (I chose 'Farm Life').  See below a college I created of my Grandma MacKay and my dad (he's the baby).  My dad has lived on the same farm, in the same house, for his entire life.  

Till tomorrow,
Kathy

Well, I have to say that you paint like a pro! You are good at using your different painting materials, and once you know how to blend with your colors, you are on your way in becoming the best painter that you can be. Int was also a good thing that you shoot when the sun is about to say goodbye. People are always the perfect subjects to paint because of the mood it gives to photos. Trust me, it will always give you the best possible photos that you can have!
