This is where my heart is, painting the vanishing America structures like the old barns.  This one, Meadow Barn, was probably constructed at least 50 to 100 years ago.   Many of them are built with local timber, often yellow poplar because of its endurance withstanding weather, warping, or insect infestation.  The older this wood is the more beautiful it becomes an artist's delight with the grain softly protruding and the wonderful bleached gray finish.  You can see the barns evolution with its patches of galvanized corrugated metal giving a quilted design effect.  This painting epitomizes the barns in my area because it comes with the standard equipment of many Midwest barns, the basketball goal.  If only they would have built these structures on a foundation they may have lasted forever.  Now they are vanishing as they are being replaced by superior technology with the metal pole barns.
