One of the local farms grazes their flock of sheep on the meadows within the stone walls that surround their property. I’ve noticed over the years they fence of parts of the meadow to let the grass grow for a season, then move the fence the following year, to another location. The abrupt line where the sheep’s grazing keeps the grass cut, against the fenced in taller grass, caught my attention. “Meadow Fence” 30 x 40 o/c
Both of these barns are now gone, having succumbed to age. They are a favorite scene that I’ve painted quite a few times. They stood side by side in the middle of an empty meadow. One was slightly taller than the other, and the two together stood where they were for a century or more, until time and weather claimed them. “In The Shadow” 36 x 36 o/c.
