While restoring an old barn, the artist was surrounded by weathered wood and earthy tones. Using acrylics, they layered textures and shapes inspired by the barn’s aged surfaces. It’s great for a farmhouse kitchen’s dining area, enhancing the rustic vibe. It also fits a country - style bed - and - breakfast lobby, adding a touch of nostalgic charm. The concept was to capture the beauty of imperfection and age. The artist embraced the rough textures and muted colors, creating a painting that feels like a piece of the barn’s history brought to life.
