Driving around the Dunvegan area recently I saw this old and interesting building in a field on the Kenyan 8 Concession Rd, just west of Fiske’s Corners and south of County Rd 24. Interesting patina and I liked the details of the red door–which was ajar–details and colour of the roof, and the textures shown on the building from becoming weathered over the years.
I played around with it for more vibrant colours and like where it all came to. A happy feeling shot in the pretty countryside at this time of year.
Olga who painted the building where she lives could do an amazing painting of this I feel , leaving out the bare tree branches behind the building. 😊
Here is the original shot.

Nicely modified and improved. I love the image, the tight crop and the blue sky. I like the way you have made the shadow on the front of the building even across the whole building which I think adds to the patchy look. As a suggestion, I would remove the wires.

What a great find for a photo! I think it is perfect, but for the overhead wires, which I would, as Milo suggests, remove,

If I decide to paint this scene I will definitely remove the wires.
