Old Gray Barn

Framed, 12" x 15". A classic Missouri barn, now preserved amongst the historic buildings at Chesterfield's Faust Park. Lovely shadows and a striking interplay of color between the grays of the barn and the greens of the trees. Accepted for a St. Louis Watercolor society show. In a plain silver wooden frame with a white double mat.

    I sat next to Joanlee this day when we painted at Faust Park. I was admiring her ease of painting the background of greens and her expertise in perspective. She actually gave me a little quick lesson on perspective right then and there. This would make a great memory for me of our friend and of a St Louis, where I met her and other great friends and artists.
