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.

This barn is at the edge of town in a newly developed

industrial park. It has an unknown future. I have painted

it in summer, winter, and fall. It is very striking and has

several red out buildings behind it. It speaks of a time

gone by, when barn construction was an art. Who is

going to want to paint the metal yellow barns they are

constructing today. These old cypress barns will far

outlast the new ones if they don't get torn down in the

name of progress. I love to do old barns. Each one has it's own

distinct personality. Watercolor seemed to be the medium

it called for.
