"The Past of Once Was." The barns in my country area are deteriorating at a fast rate, it seems. To me this is a bit alarming. No farms, no food. However, I've heard stories about specific farms and the land that surrounds them during their hay days. There is sense of intrigue about what they looked like back in the day. For me, These barns produce an aesthetic appeal that I wanted to capture through paint. Below is once that I painted with acrylic on canvas.
