I wanted the palette of this piece to be warm and a bit mysterious, the way the last light of day tends to color the landscape in warm hues, and blurs the line between foreground and background. “Northern Ridge” 36 x 48 o/c
This barn is a few miles from home. It was once an active farm stand, owned and run by an old farmer who meticulously maintained his land and buildings. It has since been bought and sold several times, and each time, the property becomes more neglected. The barn is at a sharp bend in the road, and while driving past it the other day, the fire-red burning bush caught my eye, contrasted against the dark, weathered broadside of the barn. “Broadside” 24 x 48 o/c
