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

Most beguiling, with a great colour and pattern contrast.

Artist Reply: Tony: thank you so very much for your lovely comment. Most appreciated. I apologize for taking so long to reply. I must have missed the email notice. I'm usually more curtious than taking this long to acknowledge a comment on my work. Have a good day. Best regards, Will
