This charming barn landscape is downhill from a white farmhouse just west of F Hwy in New Melle. My first time to this little town, it was a joy to explore the streets and countryside!  After scouting almost everything on the map we were given, we decided to return to this old barn - which had captured my attention earlier. The weather could not have been nicer - and the lights and shadows were fabulous!  With hardly a wind to stir the pond, the music of frogs and birdsong serenaded me as I worked.  I can fully submerge myself in a painting when surrounded by such beauty!  This is painting number 867 in 867 days.
