Lonna's bazaar and green roofed barn

Here are a few new paintings by Lonna. First is the fantastic final version of her Moroccan bazaar featuring the rugs she originally painted. The second is a new watercolor of a barn with a really nice, green roof.

Great job Lonna. This has such a warm animated feeling. The rugs are still the focus but I love the context you've provided.

 Here is the new watercolor. I really like the color of the barn roof. I also think that the handling of the sky and the far hills is well done. The trees have a nice consistency of style and technique and work well graphically.
 I have only two suggestions:

First, Lonna might consider cropping the bottom of the painting to shorten the foreground a bit.

Secondly, I would raise the left side of the roof to change the angle of the roof and therefore, the perspective. She wouldn't want the bottom edge of the roof to be going in the opposite direction of the ridge. The angle I've indicated may not be as sharp an angle as it could be but this feels ok.

Another nice piece Lonna.

  1. Thanks Michael. I'll frame the rug pastel. I made the changes to the watercolor/gouache of the green roofed barn. Thanks so for all the "tips".
