Del's Shed WIP

Work in progress pic of this next masterpiece. I have one or two more layers of blue and browns before laying in the color. I love old sheds and barns and this one pulled me in from the moment I saw it.

My next art project

A few weeks ago, I was in Franklin County and saw this shed way off the road, maybe 1/4 of a mile. I walked to it and just fell in love with how old, unused, and forgotten it was. A friend once told me that when they're diving and see a barn, they can't help but think about me. I love painting scenes of Richmond and the area I live, but there's something special about old barns and sheds off the beaten path. This one here ... this old, forgotten shed on the side of the road, will be my next art project. Shoot me a message if you'd be interested in purchasing it once it's complete - johnpriceart@gmail.com

Brodess Farm Pleinair Painting

Pleinair painting that is to be detailed and colored of the Brodess Farm in Dorchester, Maryland. It was cloudy and cold and kind of dreary. This is the childhood home of Harriet Tubman. The original structures have long since been demolished and the only thing there is a small house that is privately owned. There is a small section where you can stand and view the area and take pictures, but you're not allowed on the land. not much has changed since Harriet Tubman lived and escaped from here, as far as the landscape is concerned. I thought it was fitting that the day was cloudy, which is kind of fitting for the atrocities that went on here.
