Barn Sunset

7x9 watercolor on Masters Touch 80 lb paper done last week or so ago from one of my many barn reference photos. Here the sun is slowly going down on the country farm landscape and its light can be seen through the open spaces in the barn's frame. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Tall Red Barn in Snow

8.5x5.5 watercolor using White Nights paints in Masters Touch sketchbook done a few days ago from one of my many barn references. I like this tall red barn perched high amid the snowfall, a working barn waiting for Christmas. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Country Hay Barn

8x8 watercolor on Masters Premium 140 lb cold press paper done over last weekend. I used two of my barn reference photos for the silo and the main barn building housing hay bales. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Backcountry Barn

12x9 watercolor on Fluid 140 lb cold press paper, an imaginary country scene of a rundown old barn. The rocky landscape foreground was fun to paint wet in wet in layers as was the middle ground. The fence is still up so suppose someone is running cattle. Storm clouds are building up overhead. When dry, splattering was done for textural effects. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith.

Barnwood

9x12 watercolor on Fluid 140 lb cold press paper done over the weekend of an old decaying and dilapidated barn that was once some farm's pride and joy.  Barns as a subject are the icons of farm life and can tell so many stories if only they could talk.
