"Old MFA Grain Elevator (Hermann, MO)"
Watercolor 16X12
Summary of Place:
(View subject)
I was plein-air painting on this day with my friend, Billyo O'Donnell.
We were painting out of the backend of his mini-van, using the back bumper for a seat.
The morning was clear and bright, and the sky was a deep blue.
Inspiration and Design:
The architecture of this old structure caught my attention.
The old building appears to be an evolution of tin-covered additions.
Angles, lines, and edges are running every which way.
My goal for this painting was to play a tune for the left brain.
