7-17-16 ~ The Barn Collective

It is Sunday and time for Tom's Barn Collective. Please come and join us.

Tracy's Barn ~ Big Hill Road ~ Lexington, VA

7-11-16 ~ Barn Cooperative

Once again, it is time for Tom's Barn Collective and I am a day late...but better late than not at all :-)

I prefer the traditional wooden barns, but this is a nice metal one. 

It always looks to be in pristine condition.

 This is just a little freehand watercolor that I tried to do of a barn and some hay bales.
I have been reading about a form of painting known as "etegami" and its three rules: let your work be clumsy, it's a one shot deal , and you have no model. There are wonderful examples on the internet it you are interested. Boy, do I have a long ways to go. It is usually done on post cards.

Covington was hit terribly by the recent flooding as was WV, but this area was not hit.

It is Sunday and time for Tom's Barn Collective.

This is a beautiful home and barn complex not too far from home. The yellow and green with the while windows and fencing make for such a lovely rural landscape.
