Around the "Barn Cupboard Door"

Oil on Old Wooden Barn Cupboard
This is another view of the old barn cupboard. We drove by this old church building a zillion times on our way to Grandma's house. Every time I see this painting I remember the long ride.

"Barn Cupboard"

"Barn Cupboard"
I'm working on a new painting. One that has taken me a while to develop new imagery. I hope to surprise myself as well as you. Look for it's progress in future posts. In the meantime, I'd like to share a cupboard I painted years ago. It's a cupboard that was in our family's barn on the farm in Camden. The inside of the cupboard still smells like hay, pungently sweet. I've sealed the interior, but to no avail. As a result, I never use it. I stored it away and it wasn't until recently that I came across it again. It was a fun piece to paint because it was the first time I'd ever painted around corners. This view is barn-side 1 of 4.
