I completed this picture in just a few sittings. There are some wonderful old barns on the trip between Cayuga and Georgetown Illinois. The hay barn above is one of those barns. I'm doing a little practice with this picture trying to decide what kind of mood, techniques I'm going to use on a much bigger piece of a large overgrown field, with two of these old beauties that I want to capture before they fall apart. Most barns these days are Aluminum, and so as they age don't have the beauty the barns built of wood.
