Brown Barn Texaco<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cartersville, Georgia<\/p>\n

There was a time when I enjoyed painting pictures of old fallen down barns. While living in Cartersville, Georgia, I was driving down Sugar Valley Road, when I saw a farm-house, with a barn and a gas pump near it, so I took some photographs of it.\u00a0 I eventually painted the picture and found that people wanted more pictures of gas pumps, so I eventually painted other pumps, like Shell, Gulf, Sinclair, American, Marathon and of course several Texaco pumps. We called this one “Brown Barn Texaco” since I later painted one with a red barn in the paining.\u00a0 We called it “Red Barn Texaco”, of course.<\/p>\n

During one of the art festivals, a young couple purchased the painting, which was a 9″ x 12″ canvas acrylic painting.\u00a0 They had a pick-up truck that they had restored and wanted me to paint the truck in this painting.\u00a0 Instead of adding to the painting, we agreed that a second painting would be done as a continuation of this painting, to hang next to this one. (Restored Truck painting)<\/a><\/p>\n
