Country Church

Usually when I paint I work from a photo, but recently I have been trying some paintings with no reference. For this one I had an idea in my head of a simple white church in the country surrounded by a field of wildflowers. Here is what I did first… While it was ok, it still wasn’t quite what I was invisioning. I thought it needed more flowers, so I added more some in the front.

Here’s what it looks like all framed. I am happy with the way it came out and it was sort of freeing to make it up and not be tied to a photo or any other reference. What do you think?
