This is a photorealistic colored pencil painting of an old weathered corn crib set back from the road, nestled among evergreen trees. This painting is based on a photograph that I took while on a bicycle ride. I love old farm building and the memories they generate. I decided to add the muted figures in the alley of the building to add a bit of mystery. Who are they? Are they old farmers? Are they remembering when they were young? You decide. Prismacolor Verithin colored pencils were used and the substrate is Dura-lar polyester matte surfaced film. The dimensions of the piece is 11 inches X 14 inches.

Beautiful! I feel like I'm there.

Artist Reply: Carliss: thanks so much. I love old farm buildings and I like to place ghost like figures in them when possible. I believe that this gives the viewer even more to ponder when viewing the piece. What are they discussing? Who are they? Did they once farm this land? Best regards, Will
