Farm Buildings

6x8 watercolor on Masters Touch 140 lb cold press paper painted over the weekend from one and several farms we passed through this summer in north Texas. The grey buildings complement the green and brown land areas well in this rural country scene. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Black Mail Pouch Barn

6.5x7.5 watercolor on Langton 140 lb cold press paper by Daler Rowney done for day 3 of the Leslie Saeta blog '30 in 30' challenge where participants around the world post their daily work.  Ref courtesy WetCanvas/Gracie Lives.  This black painted barn was located in Kentucky and the advertising trend for Mail Pouch tobacco began in 1890s and continued thru next century.  With this I have made a dirt road in foreground versus the grass that was there, added tire tracks, more dirt in middle ground, and added a sky.
