Happy new year everyone! Well I guess it’s true … Every picture does tell the story as you can see in this post.
The old barn
I found the subject for this Still Life Painting in the old barn across the road from the Vermont house. We bought the house and barn back in 2006.

When I first walked into the barn to explore the old tools where sitting on the workbench and I imagined that is where the prior owner George had left them.
First time exploring the barn with my three son’s
Although I never knew George I imagined him using the tools when the world was a much different place.
I’ve always found something beautiful about old tools so I collected them knowing that one day they would find their way into a painting.
We sold the house and barn in 2015 but I still have the tools and I’m sure that one day I will paint them again.

I’m planning to paint more in the new year and also teach painting lessons on my 2nd channel. I’m working on a painting lesson now and hope to have it up before the end of January… I’ll keep you posted.

All of my painting lessons will be painted on 5 3/4 x 7” panels. The panel and frame systems are available on my site or you can make them yourself. Hope everyone had a nice holiday and I’ll see you in the next video.
Be good, Jon
