Thank you to Ugallery for featuring my farm paintings in their new curated art collection "American Road Trip"

American Road Trip - Country Landscape Paintings 

A COUNTRY MILE

Serene in the expanses of the American Heartland, Sharon France paints captivatingly simple and bucolic landscapes that express the idealism of farm life. Through clear tripartite compositional divisions – background, mid-ground, and foreground – she creates a harmony throughout her canvas.

“I love to travel through the back roads of the American heartland during the summer. The young rows of corn and soybeans look like long ribbons of green with the dark brown Midwestern soil between them. By midsummer, fields of oats and wheat ripen to a beautiful, light golden-brown color. The combination of the corn, soybean fields and pastures, make me think of lovely old patchwork quilts. I find endless inspiration for my paintings on the back roads of the American Heartland.”

Red Barn in a Country Landscape

The Old Red Barn

 

Close up view of the painting.

I especially like to find an old barn with a cupola on top of it.  This one is from my imagination and was inspired by an old barn on the backroad, that we occasionally take to another town.  I decided on a traditional white farmhouse to paint into the farm scene with it, with a suggestion on distant farms on the horizon.
