"Farm near Asheville"


8" x 10" oil on linen panel

I painted this scene from the edge of the cemetary at Mt. Zion Baptist Church several miles northwest of Asheville, North Carolina on a beautiful Fall afternoon. The farm across the road actually had a house and several outbuildings, but I chose to simplify the picture and only portray the red barn with a bright, tin roof. I now wish I had added at least the farmhouse.

Beautiful! I think it's perfect - a farmhouse may make it too busy? In music, the notes you leave out are sometimes more important than what you include. Space is good. So I think this is great as it is. :)
