Mountain View Farm

When I go upstate I try to make the trip worthwhile and do more than one sketch. After the sketch below we headed to have lunch and then went and did one more sketch. This is Mountain View Farm which I believe is no longer a working farm. It hasn't looked like anyone was there in a long time. I like it because it has a great shape. I'll have to do the other buildings sometime when I'm up there. There is a  falling down barn that really needs TLC that I would love to sketch. 

This is also about 5 x 7.

If you would like to see my sister's sketches from the day, they are here:

Mountain View Farm

On Friday I had to drive up to Middletown, NY to drop off my paintings for the North East Watercolor Society's Member's Show. The paintings were due last Sunday but I was still snowed in. Of course while I was up there I had to paint a barn. There are many scenic barns but very few of them that you can sit and paint at this time of the year without getting stuck off the side of the road. So I ended up doing one that I've done several times before. This is Mountain View Farm in Chester,  which I don't think is a working farm any longer. This is 5 x 7.
