When I'm in the mood to paint but do not know exactly what, I take the time and look at my digital photos. I try to name photo folders with titles that can help me find what I'm looking for. Two examples are Just for Inspiration, and Must Paint. The photo for this painting wasn't in either of them. I've studied it before and then have moved to another photo. Last time I looked at it though, it really spoke to me, as if I was seeing it for the first time. I started it right away and it turned out to be a smooth going from beginning to end.The place is somewhere on Rt 218 before reaching Rt11 N, in the heart of Central New York farmland.

Beautiful rural scene, Adriana. It's funny how sometimes a photo grabs you and sometimes you wonder why you took it in the first place! I'm glad you saw something worthy of painting in this one - it has such a quiet, peaceful mood.
This is beautiful, it does feel like a bright afternoon :)
Donna, Ire Thank you for looking and for your comments.
