Democratic Barn


"Democratic Barn"
w/c....22 x 30...nfs

This old barn stood near Oran, Missouri for many years.  Each
policitical season, it became covered with election signs.  Since
the owner, Louie Hirshowich,(spelling), was a democrat, only
democrats were allowed apparently to put signs up.  You
could alway date a picture of the barn by the signs on it.
PRINTS AVAILABLE 






It has since collapsed and is no more.

Two Silo Farm


Two Silo Farm
Oil...16 x 20...$300

Sorry for the long delay in posting.  I have been busy studying
how to post, how to sell on line, how to , how to....
It seems it takes more time to post and sell your art than
it does to paint it.  So many places and sites, it becomes
so confusing I'm not sure where to go.  This is a plein air
painting I did near home.  It's an old dairy farm that has fallen
into disrepair.  Folks keep horses on the property and plant
crops.  It has a lot of personality, and would speak to me
everyday on the way home from the work I do to pay
the bills.  It seems my wife still likes to eat and have gas
in her car.  This farm has about six paintings waiting to happen.
I guess these old barns just speak to me.  All the new
metal barns that are being built will never be the subject
of any painting.  They probably won't outlast the old
cypress barns.
