Another Michigan barn

More "tourist ware", but this time a little artier. This barn is out on route 72 west of Traverse City, Michigan, on the way to Cedar. I spent a bit more time on this one; initially by altering the compostion (cutting down the trees on either side, changing the shadows) and then in the painting of all the lovely rust and faded paint. In the original photo there's a great big bush in the center of the shot that hides a big chunk of the barn. I debated whether to leave it in or take it out; in the end I just pruned it.

Update 2011: This painting sold, dammit. I may have to paint it again.
