Old White Horse Barn

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.

Barn Rows Painting

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!

Red Barn Blue Sky Painting

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.

Old Red Barn Painting

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.
