July 2 WHITE CORN CRIB AT NIGHT LANDSCAPE

SOLD I see so many old corn cribs standing alone around the midwest landscape. I am sure at one time they were all
accompanied by a farm house and other outbuildings marking homesteads which were full of activity and families.

In Iowa alone we lose over 100 barns a year and that doesn't count the corn cribs, hog buildings, chicken coops and farm houses from these vintage farmsteads! It is sad to see them go, once they are gone, they are gone forever.

This painting is an original acrylic on canvas 12x12 ready to hang. If you would like to see more pics (after 6:30 pst on July 2) then please click here.
