In this Painting titled “Colors of Home,” I was inspired to paint this piece of an old barn that stood on a hill near my old hometown of Greenfield Wisconsin.  In 1989 I went back to see it after all these years of living elsewhere, I returned to this spot and all the peace, and solitude of this place started to all come back to me. The sun was about to set and was blown away by the intensity that the late afternoon sun as it pumped it into the colors of the old red barn.  It was a very calm and quiet afternoon warmed by the richness of the sunlight.  Even the snow that fell days prior had given way to the warmth of the sun.  I set up my easel and started painting immediately.  This is one of my favorite pieces to be and one that lives deep down in my heart and soul.

This original is professionally framed in a distressed dark brown finish and has all the necessary hardware already mounted to the back of the frame and ready to hang.
