Aging with Grace, Red Barn by Delilah, painting by Delilah Smith
About This Painting: I painted this old barn in Claire Michigan last weekend. It was so well kept and a joy to paint. The day was overcast and the brightest thing was the roof of the barn that had just been replace with shinny new metal. We all need a little face life every now and then so we can continue to maintain our beauty as this old barn has done.

Michigan Sky

Michigan Sky, landscape by Delilah
Michigan Sky, landscape by Delilah, painting by Delilah Smith
About This Painting:Most artist paint the sky before the land, working from top to bottom. I always start at the top and putting in a base of color then paint the landscape and near the end go back add more color and clouds.




I start with a thumb nail sketch with some color notes so later if I want to do a larger work in the studio I have more detail.


I also take photos to go back to later in the studio if I want to paint something more detailed.


I start blocking in some local color. I always use a toned canvas so I am not looking at white.



I mix up lots of paint.

I sketch in where I want things in transparent red oxide. This will be painted over so no detail.



Put in the row of trees.


I add the distant grass.

Put in the last of the local color.

Put the sun hitting the tops of the trees and finish the sky.

Church, cityscape painting, painting by Delilah Smith
About This Painting:
I was plein air painting in Howell Michigan three weeks ago and this is one of the paintings I did. I had set it up to dry and forgot about it until I started moving things around in the studio. The studio is stacked high right now as some res are being done to the area. I hope it will be worth all the work.I really like a neat work area for painting.
