Winter Barn

It's winter, and that means cold, snow, and dark evenings in Northern New York. This painting is a winter scene of an worn-out barn. Even the barb wire fence is old and tattered. The moon is bright enough to cast some shadows. I try to paint with the seasons as it just feels more authentic to me. However, sometimes the winter is just too dark and cold. That is the time to paint a vibrant green spring painting to warm things up!

This was painted on an 11x14 stretched canvas. In a painting like this, the barn could easily have been a small cabin, sugar shanty, etc. with a few different added features.
