I started this painting a couple of years ago and put it aside. I just didn't like it. A couple of months ago, I worked on it some more and I like it a little bit more now. The house is owned by a farmer who lives next door. It is getting pretty old and sad looking, but it has some nice features like the side bay windows. I can imagine a large farming family living in it and growing corn and other crops and raising black and white milk cows in the surrounding fields back in the early 1900s. I hope that some day someone will tackle its remodel and restore it to its glory once more.

It is a shame to see these homes that were once so lovely fall apart. I guess painting them is one way of preserving their memory.
Yes, it is a shame. I pass by this house every day and it's hard to watch it deteriorate.
Une très jolie publication qui met à l'honneur cette vieille bâtisse qui a une âme et que vous avez merveilleusement bien capturée... Je comprends qu'après de longues heures passées à peindre sur une toile on ne soit pas satisfait du résultat. L'oeil est las et fatigué... Il faut laissé le temps faire son chemin et aujourd'hui avec un regard neuf, cette peinture vous paraît plus jolie. Et elle l'est...
Très beau travail... Bravo!
gros bisous.
Thanks, Martine. I'm sure that I'm not the only person that has labored a long time over a painting, but this one was worth it to me. Thanks for looking.
