Connie, a good friend, commissioned me to paint her father's barn. I first painted it in color, but it seemed more appropriate in sepia tones. This is the result!

Artist Reply: Roberta, I'm privileged to have you cast your vote and make such kind comments. This AW site has done a lot for me; it's so great to have people share in your work, isn't it? Thank you!
the sepia version has an old fashioned feel about it,lovely work
Artist Reply: Old fashioned, that's what I thought, too. I'm a city girl myself but I'm primed by television and movies to see the country scenes of the past in more monochromatic images---watched too many westerns in black and white as a child. [Better be careful; don't want to tell my age!! LOL)
