9"x12" oil on panel

The weeds were beginning to take over my yard, so I took the weekend off from painting to catch up on my gardening work. After a break, I'm always ready to get back to painting. Today I went back to an old painting--a plein air study from last year that I stuck away in the closet. I'm seeing a tendency I have to always go too dark when I'm outdoors. So I spent some time lightening this one up and bringing some better color to it. However, I'm going to have to work on my photo correction, this is really not showing the yellows in the roof.
