Texas Farm #1

This is an old farm located in our area. Wish I had been able to catch it on a sunny day. It is in line with one of the proposed Trans-Texas Corridor routes. When I saw what routes were proposed, I went out an photographed as many farms as I could in hopes of preserving them, if only in a painting. I have no idea who owns this particular farm.
The colors are not quite true. The barn is not that red and the foreground not that yellow but this is the best I was able to get. Where is my owner's manual!?

8x10, oil on board, SOLD

Both of these new paintings are wonderful, Gaye. Glad to see you painting again!

What a great idea to capture these areas in paint before they are gone forever. (I just hate seeing construction).

I'm so used to thinking of you as a potter. I didn't know you were such a fantastic painter too! I'm really enjoying seeing these paintings of yours. Keep up the good work!
