Again, my grandfathers old farm provides the inspiration for this small oil painting showing the rough texture and appearance typical of these old farm buildings. The weathered grey double doored 'garage' was where my grandfather would keep his car, the large barn to the left was always full of stacked straw bales and old farm machinery.
This view was straight outside the rear of the farmhouse, where the farm geese and hens were free to wander. The path leading past the garage and towards the large trees in the distance led to the old hen house and fields beyond. Apart from the original brick built buildings (not shown in this painting) these barns and buildings were all built by my grandfather out of reclaimed timber and materials, often old telephone poles and corrugated tin roofing.
