Morris Farmstead

I have been working on painting more like the human eye sees. We can not focus on everything all at once! Our eye focuses just around the point we at which we are looking. Everything in our peripheral vision is out of focus, therefore I am starting to paint more that way. Actually I over emphasized it in this winter picture of the Morris Farmstead (built in 1856) in historic Montgomery Texas. It is a lot of fun to try and paint this way. It is tough to find the right level of completeness in the out of focus areas! That fine line between leaving something impressionistic or just looking unfinished.
Enjoy!
