#0447 "The Red Green Barn"

This was a distinctive barn on the 6th of Medonte Township in the spring of 1999. I was painting on location with an experienced artist friend of mine. Actually the barn is only a couple of kilometers off Highway 400 but it seemed like it is in another world. The farm traffic slowed to take a look but the only visitor was the red-headed lady of the farm house who came to check that we weren't poaching steelhead or doing something else crazy. The title is obviously based on the colours but it is a bit of a throw-back to the popular handy-man TV show of a similar title - although there was no duct tape in sight.

This was my very first plein air painting from May13th, 1999.
