Barn Sided
Acrylic on Canvas 24 x 24 2011 sold
This is another farm site from around the Waterloo Region.
I was excited by the angular shape of the bright red barn in the foreground, juxtaposed with the greyer weathered building in the background, both surrounded by flowing foliage.
I was drawn to the part of the red barn where there’s a white brick exterior. It makes me think that there’s something extraordinary inside. I sooo wanted to peek into all the windows of the barn.
It’s as if the windows are teasing me and taunting me to take a look. The trees and other foliage are in on the secret, and the distant building is glad to not be getting all the attention.
