Start of 2nd Lighthouse Painting

This is the background of my second lighthouse painting. This time, I wanted to have the ocean in the background. I chose to do a stormy scene because I thought it would be more interesting. I was surprised at how hard it was to get the colors toned down enough for it to look stormy. I reworked the background a few times because the sky looked too blue and the ocean looked too blue-green. I am trying to go for realism here, and sometimes the "real world" is pretty gray.

Down on the Farm

I painted this for my friend, Candace. She wanted a painting of a red or white barn. I went back and forth between this and another painting for awhile. It took me awhile to decide which one I thought she would like best. I decided on the one from a distance, looking at the barn and the farm as well. I hope she likes it!


Since she will have the original painting, I am putting up the prints on http://lesliehuss.imagekind.com/ and other products on http://www.artwanted.com/lesliehuss if you wish to purchase anything.
