Vinland barn & steeple


          "Grammie" went with me one afternoon to Vinland just to look around and do some more sketching.  It does not take long to check out the 2 blocks of town.  I did this barn however on the third trip. The barn sits between the 2 extant churches still in the town, hence the steeple poking up over the barn.  Love these old places...   I think this barn is mentioned in some of the history of Vinland you can find online.  I was sitting in a chair finishing one sketch when I turned and did this sketch of the barn. Some places are just like that, full of endless subjects.  I should go back again. Actually, I have been back again, and did a couple things from the west view; one a finished drawing with this church again in the background. It will have to get posted later... 
          Done in a small Strathmore Sketch pad with a Sharpie extra fine marker.
