Snowed In

Snowed In
In a wonderland of snow is a place called familiar. A place which can find refuge from the cold.
This day I am lucky. This day the barn I stumbled across has a fireplace. Old and filled with cob webs but a sight of comfort as I fumble through my pocket and find a lighter. A little dry hay and a small fire which gets bigger as I add more hay. Warmth precious warmth. I peek out and realize what it is like to be snowed in.

There's Hay Inside

There's Hay Inside
I can remember when I was youngwe went to visit friends who had a barn.
Yes it did have hay inside and I can still remember the musty sweet smell and I smile because
unlike what one would imagine. That smell was wonderful and brings back happy memories still today.

The Blue Roof

The Blue Roof
Ever noticed how a lot of barns have those graying roofs.Almost like an old
grandpa with gray hair. Weathered and worn, almost like those old grandpa's
with gray hair.

One Red Barn

One Red Barn
Somewhere out in the country surrounded by the stillness of life is a barn. A red barn that
has been standing for quite a long time. It is as if that barn red paint makes it
invincable to the sun and rain and snow. It is like some powerful force surrounds it and helps it to
last throughout the ages.
Another glowing beauty on a small 4x4 canvas panel.

The Wooden Gate

The Wooden Gate
Somewhere at the end of a road is a barn who someone carefully painted red. Though
weathered and worn it still stands as a constant reminder that country life is the most wonderful life
that one could hope for.

Country Red

Country Red
Today I decided to start a series of barns. Two things they will have in common is that
they will all have barns and second they will be painted on the small 4x4 canvas panel. They pack
a lot of punch to be so little. How many will I paint? I don't know. I will paint them until one day you will visit and see something else where a barn might have been.
Oil painting on 4x4 canvas panel yes that is 4inches x 4inches.

Hoar's Frost

Hoar's Frost
Once I lived in Wyoming and it would be so cold. Some days we would go out early and
the air would be filled with those sparkling crystals and everything would be crisp and white.
It had a beauty like no other. I loved it.

Feelers

Feelers
What a name? I am laughing but that is what all those cherry stems reminded me of.
I was practicing color here with a limited palette. I read some instruction from artist Carol Marine and tried
to apply some of what she said. I think I will try it again. I mixed my own grays. 
I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Jar Head

Jar Head
Do you remember those wonderful little glass baby food jars?
I am older and have little reason to peruse the baby food isle but the last
time I did go there what I saw was a lot of plastic square boxed. Now just
what can you make out of that. Certainly they do not compare to the glass jars.
