Rural Christmas Scene in Oil
Rural red barn and snow Christmas scene.28 total reviews
Comment from BarbaraKeener
The rural scene is beautifully done. I like how you pulled the reds into the painting all throughout. The bottom right hand corner is a little busy. I would choose one of the reds and let the rest go. Either the fox the bird or the wreath. No rodent.

Thank you for the review. I agree. I definitely should remove the rodent. I may draw our sons' red sled and the snow falling, perhaps them in the sled, remove the other when I do the Christmas card for the future. Again, have a wonderful New Year.

Nice artwork posted here. It is a very seasonal choice. The colours work nicely for Christmas. The trees balance the composition nicely. The barn is well proportioned and placed. Thanks for sharing

Thanks so much, artist friend. Your reviews mean much to me.

What a lovely painting in oils you have done, here! The red barns in the background sitting slightly off centerstage seem as though they're casting a glow upon the snow. The variation of colors in the trees are a nice touch as well.
Was this a Christmas Card?

Thank you, thank you dear special artist friend. I hadn't seen your work. I hope you got my message that I was concerned. Are you ok? Jewell, Thanks also for the "6". No, it wasn't a card but at the request of four or so artists, I am making it a Christmas card and pulling my poem, Christmas Decor, into it, as well as a few Scripture surrounding Christ's birth. Have a New Year full of Happiness, Good Health, and Prosperity.

My husband and I are suffering Covid and it really slammed us. Thank you for asking. So far our lungs have remained clear except for a hacky cough.

Sorry. Missed you. Are, shall continue to pray--believing for the best. No, I painted this in one setting--wet on wet but at FAR suggestion I have made it a card and pulled in my poem: CHRISTMAS DECOR.

Hey Glena!
Wow what a beautiful landscape! The colors work really well together and the use of light is superb. The depth and softness of the work is great. The only thing I don't like is the fan art review watermark haha, it makes it hard to read the words. Overall a nice piece!

Thank you kindly and have a New Year full of happiness, good health, and prosperity. Thank you so much for the "6". Really means a lot.

Thank you for your wonderfully encouraging words and the "6". Means a lot to me. I replied and thought I'd saved. I just had to go back to look at your portfolio as I've not reviewed enough work from you. You have outstanding work there. I loved the different colored birds, the cardinals turned different ways, the eagle works, the sea and/or water contests. You should have had more reviews, even views. Suggestion: Keep your work toward the top or top by promoting, buying or earning Member pumps, whatever. It definitely needs to be there so more people view it and review it.

Thank you for the kind words Glena, I really appreciate your thoughtful response!

How you created the barn doesn't matter to me. This is such a very calming scene. The way the road has a bit of grounding to the barn is perfect. Having truck tracks would be a bit over the top. The little bird is so nice along with the wreath on the post. A six if I had one.

Thank you kindly, artist friend Photoman. Wish you a New Year full of happiness, good health, and prosperity. I always apreciate your assessments and like so very much viewing your photography.

Thank you Photoman artist friend. Thanks for your continued support. I certainly look forward to seeing- and enjoy your work. Have a New Year full of happiness, good health, and prosperity, even though your personal loss has been heavy. I know you are going forward as you can, but I feel personally that when someone we love dies (The real person never dies.) a part of us die, in humanity.

It's been a year that my wife passed. Everyday I'm looking to tell something. But I talk to her spirit. She is with me. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

This is a beautiful work. I love the softness of the sky, and the peaceful look in the snow covered path. The barn is really sweet and looks perfect, perched where it is. Great job, and good luck!

Thank you for the nice comments and best wishes. So you have done mostly photography. You'll do fine work if your other work tells anything about that. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and do have a New Year full of happiness, good health and prosperity.
Comment from mamamary
I love the beautiful pastel colors you have chosen to use, especially in the sky. I like that you used the trees, almost as a focal point and the path that takes the eye to the buildings. Nicely done.

This really is a beautiful painting of an all-time favourite subject matter. The colours are awesome and the atmospheric light adds mystery. Finely composed and executed this makes interesting viewing! I wish I had six stars. I am giving a virtual six!:)Thanks for sharing!
