This small barn sits quite close to the road in rural Northern Virginia and has always fascinated me. Some people are amused by the darndest things and I am one of them!! I have photographed it many times at different times of the year and also painted it. Then I was struck with the idea of painting in the moonlight and I was so pleased with the outcome that I hope to more "night painting" in the future. It is no longer available as it was sold recently from a restaurant in that area of the state.
Painting the beautiful things I see in nature and old buildings is the focus of much of my work. Wildlife is one of my favorite subjects to paint as are landscapes and still life. There never is time to "do it all" but it's great fun trying! Enjoy looking and questions and comments are always welcome...pwhitacre@att.net or phone 865-932-6729.

Old Barn with Daisies and Wildflowers
Old barns and sheds make great subjects for photographs and paintings. This painting is a small, 6x6 inch palette knife only work on canvas. The wildflowers and daisies plus the river running behind the buildings makes this a quiet but pleasant picture. It is available directly from the artist. Enjoy!
