I've started a Tumblr blog and am posting my art there among other things, haven't quite decided as I have to learn more about it. It's mostly so I can follow other Tumblr blogs. The link is cmlk79.tumblr.com.
Creative Tuesdays' current theme is 'This Old Barn'. My piece is done on good quality cardstock (6" x 6") in acrylic and fine point marker. It came to me quite quickly and was fun to do. I'm pleased with the result. Thanks to Michael for coming up with this lovely, inspired topic. It's back to school time and thoughts turn to fall.

I love the scene you painted here, Christine. I love barns :)
It's fantastic! I love old barns.
Lovely painting. Good luck with your new blog.
Christine, I love your scene...the barn, the rolling green hills...a perfect way to say Hello Fall.
nice barn sketch
How sweet! I love the barn, it has such a rustic feel.
It is that time. I'm ready for it. What a great job you did.

Could well be used for the front of a card - love the 'Simpson cloud' sky
Cathy
You know the clouds I mean - the ones that are at the beginning of each Simpsons episode
I love the hills you painted here - makes me want to go exploring :)
This picture is wonderful! I wish I could take a walk there! I would enjoy it so much!
Christine, this is very whimsical somehow. Maybe it's those cute almost bouncy clouds or the dollops of darker green for the shadows -- a nice contrast to the details of the indeed OLD barn, yes, I can tell you had fun with it and that is great! Well done!
Thank you once again. So glad you enjoyed the theme too.
BTw, can you please leave a link on the sidebar here to your Tumblr as I'd love to follow it. Your posts looks intriguing but I don;t have Tumblr so can't get to it easily through that but did bookmark it. Let us know how that works out for you. I still have a lot of digging to do on Tumblr but it looks like the new way of doing things. Good luck! :)
I agree, I love the puffy clouds! This too reminds me of a greeting card, or a comic book panel, where you open it/go to the next frame, and you see more of the characters who inhabit the barn. Great design and colors; love this piece :-)
Your barn looks very similar to mine -- just a different background. I like the greens and the shadows they evoke.
