Back Creek Church Barn

"Back Creek Church Barn"

I love painting pictures of barns - especially when they give me that certain Americana feeling.  There are a majority of times when I pass this barn as I commute to work every morning.  On some mornings, I can see
such a beautiful and picturesque view while I am waiting at the light.  It took some time before I started painting this piece due to my study of this barn scene along with that silo with the cross on it.  What even makes this barn and its silo so special is that it actually belongs to Back Creek Presbyterian Church where it is located between the northeast part of Charlotte and Harrisburg  in North Carolina.  From what I have been told was that this particular barn was once owned by a godly farmer who gave his barn to the church. 

As far as the materials that it took to paint the picture of this barn is that I used a quite different type of paper which is the backing of a grasscloth wall paper.  It is not really unusual that I use unusual types of mediums because I want to add more feeling to that painting.  However, this type of painting added both warmth as well a certain feeling of nostalgia especially when it comes for me to paint a subject matter such as this and other barns.
