The Sky Is Falling!

This barn in the Idaho Palouse caught my eye during my last visit.  It's difficult to know if it was well built because it is holding itself up after some sort of confrontation with something or if it was not all that well built and is imploding on itself.  Perhaps its builder forgot to put in all the fasteners at one critical junction.  Or perhaps aliens were lobbing angry birds at various targets in the open fields.  

Regardless, the barn spends its life now as time's plaything.  

I have begun a series of paintings as a kind of portrait of these mostly abandoned structures.  I find them as beautiful as they are disturbing.
