Finished painting of Sod House at Ash Hollow.
One of the fun tricks of oil painting is to do an underpainting of the entire canvas to set mood and lighting.  The red background in the above painting sets an intensity for a hot summer day with strong shadows.  The finished piece is warm for a sunny day. 
​Light lavender works great for the low light of November.
