"Family Farm"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas

This is a large commission that I just completed.
It is 4 ft. x 6 ft.!
It is a bit of a mix of past & present brought together
for a client of their old family farm.
It shows their pond with ducks. Although they don't raise horses
anymore, they wanted to show them in the painting and
along with a donkey they use to have.
Its been a while since I got to do this size and it was really fun
to bring this all together for them.

"Red Barn"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas
10"x 10"

The old red barn.

I have always been drawn to the old red barns that dot the countryside.
Do you know why they are painted red?
I did some research and actually found many theories. So here's a bit of history today :)
The most popular one theory seems to be:
Early 18th-century bridges and barns went unpainted. However,by the late 1700's, natural wood seasoning gave way to artificial preservation. Virginia farmers were the first to become paint-conscious. Since ready-made paint was not available, a farmer mixed his own. Skimmed milk, lime and ferrous oxide, otherwise known as rust, made a plastic-like coating that hardened quickly and lasted for years. Rust was plentiful on farms and is a poison to many fungi, including mold and moss.

"Beautiful Day"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas
12"x 16"

Enjoying some ever changing clouds.
This is a large painting on a 1.5" deep gallery wrapped canvas.
The painting extends around the sides to give it a lot of
depth on the wall and will not need to be framed (unless you prefer it).

I am always drawn to these great old farms.
