I painted this barn once before. It is one of the most interesting Mail Pouch barns I have ever seen, with the famous sign on both the side and the end of the barn. On the side, the sign is painted with its traditional black background, while on the end, the sign is painted directly on the red of the barn. It is an interesting exercise for me, once in a while, to paint a subject a second time. That way I can try a different color treatment, different textural elements, different application techniques and so on to arrive at a new interpretation of the subject. The main differences between this one and my earlier painting are the sky color ad the looser treatment of the sky, the simplification of the background and the brush work in the foreground. This one is a bit brighter and cleaner than the first one. I think it is a good interpretation of a currently controversial but historically traditional piece of Americana.
Jim is a graduate of West Virginia University. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Art in 1970 and a Master's of Instructional Design in 1977. An artist all of his life, Jim took some instruction with Leland McLelland after moving to Central Ohio at the end of 1977. This was a pivotal time for Jim because he finally learned watercolor techniques which allowed him to illustrate. A realistic interpreter of what he sees, Jim finally felt like he'd found the medium that he could identify with. Though watercolor can be unforgiving, Jim has learned to create beautiful watercolors of the things he loves best. As you view his work you will see some of the same themes: barns, old barns with such character; farmsteads, yes you will see some...
