I photographed this old farm outbuilding whilst on a cycle ride out on the fenland and later produced this watercolour. It was a tumbledown disused place next to an old barn. I went by there not so long ago and discovered that along with the barn, it had been completely demolished.
Preserved for prosperity then.{:)
neat! I esp. like your handling of the brick work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nic,
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure what it was actually used for originally. They may have kept the odd cow or a few pigs in some parts of it, many years ago though. It was certainly a wreck when I checked it out.
I like the moss on the corrugated iron roof.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sweff, I'm glad it was recognisable.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Roy. Now that place will have a history without being forgotten forever!
ReplyDeleteThanks Evie.
ReplyDeleteHey Roy...I've seen many sites like that and they always wonder what it was like when it was in use!!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the end building> I like the look of natural weathered wood and you did good capturing that look.
I have a question though,.. what is that blue odd looking thing near it..can't figure that out!! : }}
Hey GG, thanks. Its a plough that fixes on the hydraulic arms of a tractor. The blue is the metal part and the eight brown things are the blades/shears.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! I'm so glad you started an art blog!! You need to do the 100 painting challenge. :-)
ReplyDelete...it's a lovely painting. You've preserved its memory even if it has been demolished.
Thanks Kelly, hey I'm going to struggle to do one a week.{:)
ReplyDelete:-) I'm going to be struggling to get mine too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! You really do a nice job with all the details.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary.
