Foggy Farm


This past Saturday I woke up to a very foggy morning here in Newnan. I grabbed my camera and headed out to shoot some reference pictures for future paintings. This farm, a couple of miles from my house, is surrounded by development and I fear that it will be gone one day. I've wanted to paint it for several years but earlier reference photos did'nt spark my interest. I like the atmosphere here and plan at least a couple of works.

Yes...that's it...Roscoe and the bypass...it's on my own personal "endangered species" list. I'm planning a larger work of this but not sure when I'll get to it...I've got several things ahead of it.
