The daily dose of art WEST KENTUCKY BARNS

For the past several years I have been slowly creating a portfolio of the barns in Western Kentucky.  Sadly most of them appear to be abandoned, remaining intact only out of sheer will and pride.  Most of the paintings are watercolor, and the remaining pastel and/or pen and ink.  Tucked away in the back of my mind is the notion that I will get them into a book form..some day.

Here are a few on the most recent additions:

TWO WEST KY BARNS

It's time for a change of pace, at least for today, and a return to the countryside.  West Kentucky is awash with aging, little used barns that all seem to take on the same appearance - rusty tin roofs and faded unpainted siding.  In spite of this, they still retain an air of dignity that age and neglect cannot destroy.

Here are two such barns in Graves County, rendered in watercolor and measuring 11x14".
