At long last I was able to fix the roof on this Red Barn painting that I started oh-so-long-ago. I'm much happier with it now! It's funny how at the time I paint something, I can't see the problem, though I know something is wrong. Yet coming back to it much later, it just jumps out. I also added some shadowing around the roof to give it more dimension. Looking at it now that I've posted it here, I need to add some shadow to the roof under the greenery as well. Then it will be ready to frame!
Here is the way it used to look. You can see why the lower edge of the roof was bothering me!
FYI, this is the second in a series of four seasonal barns that I've been working on. Next up is the Winter scene, which I hope to start once I finish Jacque Peak.

Lisa, your work is so lovely!
I'm sure you know this but thought I would mention it... When looking at your work, turn your back to it holding a mirror in your hand, aimed at the painting. For do e reason, problem areas tend to jump out.
Your work both painting and stitching, is lovely!
