Country Store (Mount Solon Virginia)

I started this painting on this last Sunday evening.  It was done in a single sitting using my MaimeriBlu palette. The scene is from a trip to central Virginia this past summer near Mount Solon.  These old country store/service stations are disappearing fast so catching them while they are still around is neat.  The tree foliage is in full lush; this was the weekend leading up to the 4th of July so spring was finishing up.  The yellow / sienna grass near the store added a very nice effect to the painting.  I also positioned the road to disappear into the dark trees in the center of the painting to draw int he viewer.
