HH Barn

HH Barn

16 x 20...Oil...$125

This little red barn on HH Road in Sikeston, spoke to

me every day on my way home. Every afternoon I would

pass by with the evening sun shining on it, and it would

cry out, "paint me, paint me". Finally one saturday, I pack

my plein air easel up and painted the little red barn. The very

next week, the bulldozer was there tearing it down.

This was begun as a plein air at the bridge. The

fishermen in the foreground are family members.

It was our first time to go with the group. They

go every August to fish and fellowship. The area

is beautiful. In the early morning, the mist is rising

from the cold waters. The temperature drops

dramatically as you go down the bank to the creek.

The colors of the water are not exagerated. They

are a beautiful blue green. Great scenery and

great fishing for rainbow trout.
