Barn Art by Doris Wilbur-Artist, "Tioughnioga River Barn", Country Roads, Farmhouse Decor, Old Barn, Print of Original, Dairy Barn, Rustic

This old red barn with its interesting cupula sits across the road from the Tioughnioga River on Route 11 near Killawog. Soon, like so many others it will "age out" and fall down. When it does I will miss it travelling that road. I enjoy painting weathered old wood and scenes like this. Sometimes I think I am painting the things I want to hold onto, like this barn and the times when the farms around us were still going strong and cows and horses grazed in pastures all over the countryside near me.

The size given is the final size it should be framed. You may frame as it is with the white border it has around it or add a mat. Your print will come with a 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 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.
