Red Barn Painting in the Field Rows

Among the Field Rows 

I painted this scene of an overcast day in the country, when the crop rows in the fields are starting to fill in, and the air is heavy before a summer rain shower. The field rows lead back to an iconic red barn.

12 x 12" on stretched canvas.

Country Landscape Painting of an Old Midwestern Farm

This the most recent painting off of my easel.  I started this painting back in the winter, but then set it aside, as I was not sure what direction I wanted to go with it.  I looked at it one day in July and realized then what sort of farm landscape scene I wanted for it!  I sometimes do this with a painting and am always happy when the full idea finally comes to me.  I went with one of those blue sky days with a sky full of those "big marshmallow clouds", as a friend once described them in one of my paintings.  Just the kind of beautiful summers day that I love so much in the heartland! 

Country Landscape Paintings - American Road Trip Farm Paintings

 

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.

Old red barn in a quiet summer landscape

Red Barn in a Quiet Field 

This landscape was inspired by the old wooden red barns that once were so common along the country back roads that I love. As time goes on, there are fewer and fewer of them left standing. I painted this simple red barn into a quiet summers landscape scene from my imagination. The piece is on a gallery wrapped canvas with finished edges. It comes ready to hang.
I hope that you will enjoy viewing my vision and glimpses of the quiet, old rural landscapes of the American heartland. Old farms, barns, cattle, sheep, meadows and big open skies, are often the inspiration for my art. I have been influenced by the old Barbizon, Tonalist, & Luminist painters for my original dreamscape, landscape paintings.

Original Red Barn Old Farm Landscape Art Painting

This is a smaller painting than I normally do.  This piece measures 10 x 8" and is done in acrylic paint on an archival quality linen over board canvas.   I love the big blue skies of our midwestern summers and this piece is my impression of such a day in the heartland.
