Old Wooden Barn

Another painting produced for my art forum's Monthly Painting Project. This Old Wooden Barn was built in the early 1870's in Wisconsin, USA. It was bult by the surviviors of the Great Peshtigo Fire as they began rebulding their communities and their lives after that tragedy. It is amazing to think that the wood and timbers used, let alone the primitive building techniques, can have withstood the test of time so well.
