Corn Crib

Corn Crib

Corn Crib is an oil painting on cotton canvas. The original, measuring 24 x 30 inches, was completed in the beginning of 2013. Prints on acid free paper, were released in the following autumn.

I was always interested in this primitive building nestled at the edge of the woods in southern Virginia. Through investigation I learned that it was a corn crib built by the land owner’s grandfather in the 1960’s. The planks used were cut from timber on the property, and the building was used to hold the dried corn to feed the horses and cows.

I thought the sun streaming through the trees, leaving shadows on the fresh fallen snow next to the rustic building was gorgeous. I wanted to capture that beauty and share it so others could enjoy it, too.

In the International Women Artist Competition, Corn Crib came in 2nd for Best Art Work for 2013 and was featured in the International Women Artist Group.
