Utah Barn

15x11 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper drawn and painted yesterday for a weekend drawing event; photo courtesy WetCanvas! host Patrice.  This old useless ramshackle barn is falling down along with the old wooden fences and corrals of bygone ranching days.  I used a b&w print and ignoring local color, made up my own, with foreboding dark skies, distant hills, middle and foreground weeds and foliage.
