Seems like it has been a while since I posted any recently completed landscapes. That’s because it’s been a while since I have completed anything I could post. So here’s something, inspired by a striking photo in this month’s Tennessee Home and Farm magazine. (The featured photos in this publication are eye-catching and usually give me something to think about — if not to paint.)

Tobacco barns different from storage or cattle barns in that they are taller and thinner and their sides open up at different levels to help the tobacco dry or “cure.” These “flaps” give the barns an unusual visual flavor.

Football is becoming a distant memory, but before it fades completely and we get to the serious business of baseball, here’s one for the road. The quarterback is the center of the action in football. You can’t win without a winning quarterback. The Super Bowl winner this year is the latest example of that tenet.

So, let’s devote one more memory to football.

Baseball is coming. And so are some new pieces of art.
