Storage barn...

I found this barn the other day when I was looking for a subject. I enjoy the shape and color  of weathered old barns like this, but what I really like here is the pile of junk in the foreground. This place was a run down piece of property with tons of trash scattered around. A place like this, with old junk around is so much more interesting to make a painting of than a well groomed landscape.

   Hey Colin, have you got this one on display somewhere? I’d love to see it first hand.

   Hey Chris,

   I just dropped it off at the framer two days ago. Should have it back in a week or two. I don’t know where it is going to go, but I am happy to let you know when it is in the studio if you want to have a look.

   I’d love to come see it, and others of course. did you do any preliminary sketches for this one? Those sketches intrigue me!
