This landscape features an old barn I have painted before from different angles and in different seasons. I am so attracted to these old structures. I imagine this one was made by the hands of the rancher that owned the land, long ago, but it has remained standing, useful, and beautiful. I hope the viewer will feel a sense of solitude and peace and will be lost in reverie about a time when there was more activity and life around this old structure. This barn is somewhere on County Road 154 near my home in Abilene, Texas. This one was so appealing to me, set in such a heavily wooded area that throws deep shadows that contrast to the open space that allows the light to hit the wild vegetation.

I am a Texas artist and have painted for most of my 71 years, being from a family of artists. My mother's youngest sister, aunt Patsy, spent a lot of time with me, guiding and encouraging me, and I credit her for my passion for art. She painted under the name of "von." When she died in August of 2018, I began placing "von" somewhere on the face of each painting as an acknowledgment of her role in my artistic endeavors. My inspirations come from my home environment in Texas. Things that I have taken for granted all my life are now frequent subjects for art. Mesquites, cactus, old barns and shacks, windmills, wooden fence posts, wildflowers and the like are favorite subjects. I am a colorist, and I enjoy using color to give new life to otherwise fading beauty. In addition to color, I strive for dimension, movement, depth and unusual perspective.
