Artwork print "Newark Valley Barn" by Doris Wilbur-Artist, Finest Quality Limited Edition, Old Barn, Ready to Frame, Gift, Original Work

Original Artwork  "Newark Valley Barn" a photo painting by Doris Wilbur-Artist. This old barn is located in a valley on Newark Valley Maine Road. Sadly, the last time I went through there it had fallen down.  like to paint the barns when they have some character but hate to lose them. The print is made with the finest quality archival materials, state of the art printing inks and heavy acid free paper. It has a white border around the artwork and is intended to be framed 11"x14". You can frame it as is or add a mat. 

I am working now with reference photos I have taken over the years. I adjust them in Photoshop and print that out. Then, I alter the print with pastel pencil and watercolor paint. Next, I scan that work and then create a finished, archival print. I call them "Photo Paintings" because they are a combination of photography and hand artwork. It has allowed me at over age 80, with arthritis in my hands, to keep creating art. 

Your print will come with a foamcore backing board, a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity and a clear protective sleeve. Each print is a Limited Edition and is numbered with a maximum of 250 in the edition. When I reach that number no more prints are made. That makes each print more valuable.

I was raised on a dairy farm and have a special connection to barns and rural landscapes. I appreciate all the hand hewn beams and unique architecture and character these old buildings have. Imagine the labor and time it took to raise these large buildings years before we had all the modern machinery we have now. Think of all the life and activity that they housed. We are losing so many of these historical buildings each year to age and weather. I continue to make paintings of as many as I can before they are gone.
