| Another eagle sighting in Happy Valley. |
I've always been attracted to old buildings. As we say in our house, I never met a hovel I didn't like! When we travel I tend to take lots of photos of buildings. I like whole buildings, parts of buildings, and the way buildings fit together. Often, buildings that are in ruins or show the wear of use and age are the most interesting and evocative. Which leads me back to the barns.
Since I find them so inspiring I thought I'd collect some of the old barn and shed photos laying around the hard drive and post them here. Perhaps I'll use one, or parts of one for a tapestry? I'm looking for inspiration for my next piece since I'm closing in on the end of the green beans. While I'm waiting for the studio to warm up I'll post a few of the photos I like.
What inspires you?

I love hovels too! I'm particularly attracted to ones that are very weathered and the land is reclaiming. The happy valley summer barns would be lovely tapestries! Have you seen the ones at Brown's Farm (Heritage Park) off of Glade Rd? Neat!
ReplyDeleteHiya. Yes, I've seen the ones at Brown's Farm. Very nice. That's such a great park.
