Why Barns?
My paintings are a result of being moved by historic outbuildings and farm structures.  I muse at how well these structures fit in their surroundings.  When I find such a scene, it is to me as though buried treasure has been uncovered and I want to express my joy.  My palette speaks about this emotional impact along with documentation from the season and time of day the painting was created.
