Barnyard in the Summer, n.d.

Oil on canvas
Canvas: 28” x 32”
Frame: 35” x 38.5”

A barn stands under a tall tree, encased by a small wooden fence. Vivid strokes of color streak the barn’s faces and in the distance there sits a white farmhouse. Copious shadows indicate the sun’s strong presence blazing down from above on a warm summer day.
