Abandoned Barn



This painting was done a few years back. I have it listed on my Artwanted.com portfolio. I have had many kind remarks about this work.

One person in particular liked my painting and wrote a poem about it called "Abandoned Barn". This was written by Faye Facer.

"ABANDONED BARN"
Lonely old barn upon a hill,
Together with an old wind mill.
No cows to come home .
To city farmer has gone,
Only the wind visits the hill.
Woodpecker hammers on tin.
Mice frequent the old feed bin.
Pigeons in the loft.
Nestlings cooing soft,
Abandoned barn, lost and grim
And the wind still comes to play,
Sets the old windmill to sway.
Dust devils go whirrling by
Odd times a cayote will cry,
'Cause the farmer has gone away.
by Faye Facer
Many thanks Faye this is beautiful and enhances my "Abandoned Barn"

  1. Claude, I like this very much. The colors are calling out to me. It may be a picture of desolation but somewhere in there I find serenity.
