Behind the House<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cartersville, Georgia<\/p>\n

I worked with a lady, during the time, when I was teaching myself to paint realism.\u00a0 She had taken some Art classes and had a big painting hanging in her office of an old barn.\u00a0 The roof had collapsed and you could see the\u00a0boards sticking out the top, where the roof had broken.\u00a0 Next to it was an old brick silo.<\/p>\n

I was impressed with the subject she had chosen, so\u00a0I took my camera and\u00a0scoured the countryside around northern Indiana, expecting to find old fallen down barns everywhere.\u00a0 For 2 days, I drove around and only found nicely painted red barns, white barns, but very few weathered barns.\u00a0 Even the houses had been kept up.<\/p>\n

So when we moved to Georgia, there were old houses, old barns, outhouses and even old weathered farms. I took lots of pictures, so when I was asked to teach a painting class, at an art supply store, that was my first project. The first painting was of a shed that was located behind the main house on a property.<\/p>\n

I called the painting “Behind the House”.\u00a0 I learned that teaching a 4-week painting was a mistake, since the\u00a0students missed weeks along the way, that they had paid for. We eventually got through it, but all my classes after that were quick 2-hour paintings, that they could finish the same day.<\/p>\n
