We drove to Door County last weekend and were surprised again at the amazing historic barns scattered across the state of Wisconsin. While some are in a state of decline, others are being repaired or restored and many are still in active use. It has to be a significant investment to save these massive structures, but they are such a wonderful sight on the rural landscape. This week’s painting, Prairie Beacon, 9” x 12” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, captures one of these incredible barns.
