While there I took a number of photographs of the people wearing period costumes as they did various chores around the village. It included everything from weeding the vegetable garden, bringing fresh baked bread to the hotel, feeding the chickens or the blacksmith making horseshoes.
A number of us decided to do a painting of the General Store. I didn't want to do the whole building so I chose the barrels they had on one corner of the porch. I liked the contrast between the white of the main support beam against the darkened windows of the storefront and the wooden barrels.Since I was painting outside and the light gradually shifts as the sun makes its way across the sky I blocked in the shadows on the barrels and on the rock work of the porch corner.
I will post this painting at a later date once I have more of it completed.
Thank you for looking at my artwork.
