Like so many other artists, I have a few favorite subjects. Here are 2 barns that have never lost their grip on my interest. The first is no longer standing, and the future of the second one is quite fragile. In each case I have rendered them first in pastel, and several years later in acrylic.

I love barns. In fact my dream home is a barn. Well at least a house made to look like a barn. One of the ones with the rounded tops.

We love barns, too. I got your blog in a google alert about barns. My husband makes toy barns using 100% reclaimed barn wood. If you can't save the barn...at least you can save the wood and the story. We include a booklet with the history of the barn and the wood, when we can find it. Check out our site at www.streamsidefarm.com. I enjoyed reading your blog.
Count me in the club of barn lovers. And it is hard not to love them looking at these glorious paintings.
These are really wonderful! I love the light through the open areas.
