Description
I am always on the lookout for great old barns, farmhouses and sometimes sheds or outbuildings. This one I found on a country road in southern Ohio. I liked the unusual shape of this one, the interesting color variations in the rusty roof and the very subtle, but important touches of color in the license plates decorating the front wall. I also found the entire hillside interesting and fun to paint-lots of texture and subtle color variations in the grasses and the background woods and great contrast between the foreground ochres and the background burnt siennas. Then there is the nifty tree on the left that adds a vertical element to counter the mostly horizontal thrust of the shed. I think it is an effective painting that challenges you to look at the details and maybe wonder who last used this shed and for what purpose.

Jim I share your fascination with old barns and other buildings ... they have such character and tell such stories if we only take a minute to listen. This particular piece is glorious ... I love the sense of the slightly askew of that wonderful porch ... the rich colors ... and your perfect shadows!!!! Really, really a beauty!!!!! l/f t and p
