Old Barn

Old Barn, 6 x 8
sold

I love the way some of the old barns of Texas are tucked away into the surrounding foliage. There are so many that are out of use now, but their past is evident, and I find myself imagining what they were like in their prime and who used them.  This is one of many along the route between Austin and Houston.

Gray Barn

Gray Barn, 6 x 6

This little barn caught my eye on a recent drive to Houston; it was somewhere around Smithville (I should take better notes).  It's one of those old Texas barns you see on any given piece of property along the highway--a subject I love almost as much as cows.  I've always been overly sentimental for anything that reminds me of my home state....
