Tennessee Barn

On our way back from Tennessee
we stopped to take some photos of
old barns. I think they have such
character. Someday they won't be
around but hopefully I'll be able to
capture the moment of a few of them.

  1. Beautiful! I grew up mostly in Illinois, so it looks very familiar to me!

  4. Thank you Anu. The sign says Go General. I'm not sure what that means but I decided to paint it in anyway.

  6. I've been watching your blog and your portraits on pastel. You are very daring, people always protest with them. I prefer painting trees, nobody get angry if a branch is longer than other one. It's a joke.
    I like your barn, and portraits are very realistic.

  9. Hi Hilda,
    Your barn just puts me in the peaceful countryside. I do hope you do a few more, because there's something about the serenity and history of old barns that really draws us in. We all want to know their stories perhaps. Thanks also for you kind comments, greatly appreciated.

  10. Claire, I'm doing another painting of a barn right now. I have so many photos from Tennessee and W.Virginia. One is nicer than the other..I guess I'm a Country girl at heart.
