I painted this scene recently while visiting Pennsylvania's Amish country. The carriage house sat back from the road and was surrounded by an abundance of day lillies. A day lily is so named because the flower that opens in the morning only lasts one day! This would be sad if the lillies were not so prolific!
Anyhow, here is my plein air sketch of the scene:
I used water-soluble oils when I was traveling last week, but decided to re-paint the scene using traditional oils. The water-soluble oils are great for traveling, but I'll never give up my traditional oils.
