New: “Higher Ground”

I’ve painted this scene a few times, each time focusing on some element of the composition that is of interest. This latest, recently completed canvas, depicts the seemingly intentional and practical construction of the barn, by it’s builders, on the highest point on the property. Hauling things in would have been harder than hauling things out, likely forcing careful decisions about what heavy things had to go in there, versus those that didn’t. “Higher Ground” 36 x 36.
