Farm Painting - Bales Under a Summers Sky

I was inspired to paint this painting after passing a newly baled field of straw, on a back road along the way home earlier this year. There are not many old fence posts and fence lines left anymore around here, so I like to include them from my memories.

White Barn and Patchwork Fields

The mid to late summer fields often make me think of an old patchwork quilt, when the wheat and oats ripen to a golden color among the green of the corn and soybeans, here in the Midwestern Heartland.   The purple of the sky makes me think of the old quilt top that my great grandmother had made and I found in my grandfathers trunk years ago and the white barn of my other grandfathers farm.  The canvas wrapped sides of this piece are painted to match, so that no framing is needed!

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!

This large original painting is done by myself, Sharon France.  My inspiration for this painting came from the horses that I found in a rural pasture a couple of years ago.  I painted them into a  quiet country scene from my imagination.  This piece measures  18" x 14" x .75 and is done in acrylic on stretched canvas.  The sides of this gallery wrap canvas are painted to match and it is wired to hang, so that no framing is necessary.

Red Barn in a Country Landscape

The Old Red Barn

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.
