Another Abandoned Place

[Enyaw]

11 x 14 inches .. oil on paper .. alla prima .. painted Jan 02/24 .. I must make a habit of getting a ref picture each time I see one. They make interesting subjects and always leave my mind ajar.

The warmth on the building and the highlights on the snow make this very welcoming.

 

[Enyaw]

Thanks Jo. Something about aged things. Must be I’m an old man and relate.

 

[Donna T]

It’s a fixer upper and it would be great if someone wanted to save it. There’s a quiet dignity to this one.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Donna. It looks to have been a nice one in it’s day.

 

[Terri]

It manages to look desolate but inviting at the same time! I agree with Donna: it's waiting for someone to step in and give it some love.

Really nice work here, Wayne.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Terri. It won’t be me.

I love this! Makes me want to get my metal detector and go walk around it and explore. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . next Spring.

 

[Enyaw]

Interesting thought. Thank you Sno. I would love to have the right to go in and reclaim the wooden base boards and trim. The old days used real wood and not cardboard.

Wonderful painting, this one. I love everything about it. I can't decide what is my favorite part of it--the barn or the sky.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Ayin. Shhh about the barn. Bongo was by.

thanks Bongo, Zen, Bart.

imagine a visual novel with this as a scene background, itd be so atmospheric!

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Puapka. yes, I see it drift in and around the old places when it was new.

 

[Sanlynn]

Well done on the atmosphere in this one. There is something about these old, dilapidated buildings. I always want to reverse time and see it as something just constructed and then witness the goings on within it.

 

[Enyaw]

Thanks Sanlynn. I wonder why. No descendents, loan problems, depression. What made them walk away if they didn't pass away.
