Working Farm

This barn caught my attention on my recent visit to my grandparents house. It's located outside of Battle Creek and has aged well. Acres of field surround this barn and all manner of equipment was piled up to the left among the trees. I chose to leave those old skeletons out and bring in the contrast of the blue tractor peeking around the silo. This painting will be shown with my Simple Roots series but is also available for sale. Contact me at sarahtuleart@yahoo.com to talk about purchasing it.

Ready To Go

I drove past this barn a few weeks ago and really honed in on this tiny section of the farm. I liked the meeting of the new and old sections of barn, the piles of dirt out front and the contrast of the green tractor. I really like the rusted doors. Not sure why that's my favorite part but it is! This painting is included in my book "Simple Roots" now available on blurb.com!

Finishing Up

I was on my way from Houghton Lake to Cadillac when I came across this scene. If the main road hadn't been closed, I never would of had to find my own way and therefore, never discovered the beautiful farming land in that area of the state. I wound for about two hours on backroads, trying to find my way on what should have been a 45 minute trip. Oh well, much good came out of it. This painting will be included in my Simple Roots series. It will also be shown at a show in September at the Traverse City Opera House. Come meet the artists on September 9th from 6-8pm!
