    Halley's Old Barn

    Still being influenced by all the old family photos. This is from the late 50's. My uncle Halley and Aunt Lila's place.

    An Update, or change

    Thanks Everyone! I posted this on Wet Canvas Landscapes. Got some good comments, but almost all mentioned the foreground seeming detached from the rest. So, here is a diff version. I'm not sure it is better.

    The old tractor certainly adds balance to the painting, looks like an old Fordson.

    Another two masterpiece Skylar
    I prefer the second one, is much complete, balanced.
    Reminds me of many old photos of our Padana countryside apart from the car: too much luxury for that time.
