New Year, Clean Brushes

I want to start the new year right, and have cleaned all of my brushes. They are such workhorses, and I've heard it said that you're only as good as your tools... Anyway, I'll probably get back to the easel a little later today, but I did want to post an image of the farm painting, which I worked on last night. And my brushes.

I have yet to capture the feeling of the sun close to the horizon, bathing everything in a hazy yellow light, especially on the right side of the canvas.

 

I know they don't look it, but they are clean.
