Green Roof on the Old White Barn
I most often paint traditional red barns in my farm landscapes. My grandparents had a white barn on their farm. A horse barn! My grandfather grew up during the time when horse racing was a favorite pastime in many small towns across America. He bred and raced harness horses. Grandpa even shod his own horses! I have such fond memories of visiting my Grandparents on their farm. A white barn makes me think of them.

The Old John Deere Tractor
Since I was a kid I have always loved the country and antiques. The county fairs here in the Midwest have interesting displays of antique tractors to walk through and enjoy. For this painting I decided on a simple old farmstead scene with a historic John Deere tractor in it. I painted one of my blue skies with those “cotton puff” clouds on summer for this piece. It measures 16 x 12 and is done on stretched canvas in acrylic paint.
Behind the Field of Wheat
A ripe field of winter wheat is the foreground for this simple barn and shed scene. I decided on one of my “blue sky days” for the sky area of this painting.

Red Barn Under a Yellow Sky
Yellow, red and green. I find them such a warm and cheerful color combination. I painted a simple red barn with three old fence posts near it in this country scene.

Young rows of soybeans in the field with a traditional red barn and sheds beyond, is what I decided on for this early summer scene here in the Heartland. The new rows of corn and beans coming up is always a welcome site, especially after a long winter!
A Blue Sky Day
This original red barn painting is done in acrylic paint on a 16 x 20″ stretched canvas. The barn sits behind my minimal, abstracted field rows.
I work from very small to large for my original paintings of the Midwestern Heartland. This tiny painting measure 7 x 5″ and is done on hardboard.

I love seeing days when our midwestern sky is full of those beautiful fluffy cottonball clouds floating by. For this piece I decided on a angular field pattern behind the old red barn.
Haze Over the Poppy Farm
I decided on a field of bright red poppies as the foreground area of this old red barn and farmhouse painting scene. This piece measures 16 x 12″ and is done on stretched canvas in acrylic paint.

In this painting I wanted to give the feeling of the remnants of an old farmstead. I included the old red barn and sheds, without the house that would have once stood there also.
