From the Backside




        Here is a drawing done from another of our trips. I cannot say when or where, but the barn is hard to ignore. Maybe you have seen it yourself on one of your gallivants across the country! I am sure you have seen many like it. The sky was a little heavy, yet the tones were not subdued. This side of the barn seems to be mostly unused, though the place is pretty well kept. What the front of this barn looked like, I cannot tell. I did not remember there being any equipment or derelict automobiles hiding in the shadows, but as often is the case, there was no time to take an “explore.” Nor did I want to get chased off the property by some shotgun wielding farm wife! Been chased off enough places when I was a kid kicking around some haunts in south west Nebraska! The thing I like about the drawing itself is the flow from side to side; the lines seem to draw you into exploring the drawing, and maybe unconsciously adding some of your own memories to the scene!
