"Forgotten Homestead" 40"x30" oil


"Forgotten Homestead" is a painting about a place that could probably tell a thousand stories if only it could speak. Hopefully my painting is strong enough to fill in some of the gaps. This old farm looked so beautiful half buried in the prairie grass and wild flowers.
Painted with my favorite tools, a palette knife and a #20 round.

For those of you who made the Marion Street Gallery opening, Thank You!!! so much for braving the horrid weather. I hope you enjoyed the live music and variety of art as much as I did. And if you didn't get to the gallery yet, please stop by soon. I will be hanging new paintings to replace the gaps from the opening week sales!

Hi Pam thank so much!

Looks good. And it's big! My mom likes to paint barns over flowery hills. It does imply a story that needs to be discovered.

Glad to hear you need to stock up after some sales. That's great to hear!!!
