    Roadside Blue

    We pass these structures every day on the backroads of Georgia—weathered barns settling slowly into the landscape. This piece comes from a reference photo I snapped years ago, capturing the specific texture of the vertical siding and the tin roof.

    For this study, I wanted to contrast the intricate, scratchy pen work of the aged wood with a bold, abstract splash of blue. It pushes the sketch beyond a simple observation into something more graphic and modern. A memory of the road, captured in ink.

    Roadside Barn

    Nestled within this pastoral landscape stands an old barn, its wooden facade weathered by years of sun, rain, and snow. The once-blue paint now peels away, revealing the raw texture of time. This barn has witnessed seasons change, heard laughter echo through its rafters, and sheltered both livestock and memories. Wild grasses sway around it, their delicate dance a testament to nature’s artistry. And beyond, a canopy of trees stands tall, their leaves whispering secrets to the wind. Here, in the heart of simplicity, the old barn stands as a silent witness to life’s ebb and flow.
