"Family Farm Home" 6x8

I have many other hobbies and things that I love to do besides paint. Some have come and gone (and I still have the "stuff" to prove it!) but scrapbooking is one that remains. I have a great group of friends in my "Scrapbooking Club" that meet once a month to visit, share, eat, and hopefully record some of those memories for our families! Although I now have moved on from "paper" scrapbooking to digital only, I still meet with them and now bring my laptop to scrap on!

On this particular day, we were meeting at one of the member's farms which they just built and is a working hay farm. I brought my plein air supplies and set up and painted their home there while everyone else worked on their scrapbooks. My friend loved it and gave it to her husband for Christmas. I loved painting all the angles and the pretty red color of the house. Although I just intended it to be a "sketch" and not a "finished" painting, it turned out okay and was so fun to do!
