This small farm is a preserved area near my home and a local historical charmer, in my view. The location is quiet, with just a few simple buildings. The sense of history it holds is accentuated by the cluster of new homes that have emerged lately. It is an odd feeling to witness the dramatic change.

What I loved about the site was the way the light created these beautiful shadows. I chose to capitalize on those. I used a vibrant and imaginative palette of colors to express the nature of my experience here. This was especially true as the sun began to set.

The painting is warm, with a bold presence while capturing a sense of tradition and history. I painted this on a masonite panel in oils.
