20″ x 16″ oil on canvas

This was a fun painting to do. I actually drew this in pen and ink with watercolor several years ago. It is a barn located on a back county road. The original painter of these barns was Maurice Zimmerman. The last known mail pouch tobacco barns were painted by Harley Warrick. I met Harley at a craft show several years ago. These barns are scattered around several states including Ohio. I took some liberties in this painting to add the black-eyed susan’s to add interest.
