Heading for Greener Pastures
Old Mathis Barn Well I'll be darned. I went and looked up these old paintings, and no wonder I thought the barn was smaller than I remember!! The whole dang big ol' barn is gone except for the small room to the right with the tin roof. And it perturbs me I don't know when that happened or that I didn't get more photos of it before it disappeared. Compare these to the photos I took the other day below. Anyway these are a couple of paintings I did of the place maybe 15 or 20 years ago. The top one is large about 22x28", and the other probably is a 9x12" and done as a plein air or quick draw piece.
That's what happens with old places. A neat old bunch of buildings will be there for 100 years and then the next time you go by they are gone.
