Distant Barn

6.25x9 watercolor on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper an imaginary country landscape anyone would want to visit or live.  Midsummer colors will quickly fade as the days get shorter and wild meadow flowers a pleasant memory.  Splatters were made on wet paper then dry using a large round #12 brush.

Hay Barn and Silos
