| Introduction | Painting scenes of old rural American is my inspiration and passion. I paint my landscapes simply, from my heart. In my paintings I want to capture the feel of peaceful, quiet, isolation, found here yet. I have always had a fascination with old farmsteads, especially the old farmhouses and barns found on them. Some of my fondest childhood memories and inspiration are from the visits to my grandparent's remote Midwestern farm. Set down a very long lane, that eventually wound around the old barn, horse pasture, granary, crib, machine shed, chicken house, to end up at their old farmhouse with a white picket fence in the yard beyond. The croquet set would be on the lawn and Grandma would have one of her homemade pies waiting on the kitchen counter. A little bit of heaven here on earth, it felt to me back then! I hope that you will enjoy viewing my original paintings! My work has been described as having an intriguing peacefulness, in its quiet simplicity. I love having the opportunity in life to paint, and hope that you will enjoy viewing my art work! sharon@francegallery.net |
