2009 coming soon

 

Thank you for visiting my website and in particular the BARN PROJECT.

The BARN PROJECT is starting its fourth year and is growing steadily and healthily.  As an Indiana artist, I want to capture, on canvas, at least two barns from each county in Indiana, gathering their unique history and showing the world Indiana's treasure.  There are 92 counties in Indiana, 36 counties are in various stages of completion at this moment.

Shown on this page are some of those completed barns, in alphabetical order by county.  You will notice that the originals are not for sale.  (The completed project will be for sale.)  However, many people have shown an interest, so limited edition giclee prints are available of each barn.  The giclee print is the same size as the original painting in most cases and are on first quality canvas.  They are reasonably priced.  Please contact me.

A 2009 calendar titled BARNS of INDIANA will soon be available at $12 each plus shipping.  Volume discounts are available.  The full color highest quality images are printed on first quality paper.  The calendar contains 13 barns with their complete history.  To purchase a calendar, contact me at 260-484-1282 or order on my Calendar page.

The barn histories are quite entertaining, varied, and interesting, but unfortunately too lengthy to include here.  However, a complete history is included with each giclee print and is included in the 2009 calendar.
