Something about old barns

"Golden Hour on Clinton St Ext, Mcgraw, NY" Circa 1914

Growing up in Central Upstate, NY you're exposed to a lot of farming.  Farms dominate the landscape.   I for one love it, especially old, dilapidated barns and out buildings.  Somehow they seem like a link to the past, a voice from the past.  

This particular scene is from the tiny village of McGraw, NY.  Up on a hill, out in the wind, open to the elements.  God, I love where I live. 

A Flurry of Activity

It always seems to happen this way to me.  For days, weeks, heck even months I won't paint a thing.  Then for a two week Christmas break, I paint like crazy(10 in all).

I guess it's the slow winter months that bring on my love of places.  After all, what do you have to do in the winter but stare outside and long for another place or time.  Oh sure, one might venture out, but with the recent cold ( -30 windchill) I think staying inside might be best. So I choose to use the time wisely and work on my painting skills.  Some proper lessons might not hurt.  Although I rather like going against what one is "supposed" to do.

Most of my recent paintings are based on the Adirondacks. So much material up there.  So many gorgeous vistas.  So many wonderful childhood and adult-time memories.
