The reference for this painting came from a century bike ride in the countryside of Hope, Indiana several years ago. I've always loved old farm buildings and landscapes and you may not want to be with me on a hike, bike ride or on holiday because I will stop and look and take a few shots, ok, several shots. I am forever looking for a good composition and strong value change in the lights and shadows.
I was searching for an old barn reference to paint from when encouraged to join a Zoom watercolor workshop. Not having the appropriate setup for this online encounter I was able to watch and listen and paint this piece the next day. This one is titled; "Behind the Times".
