It was a beautiful day yesterday and I needed a day in the woods. My oldest brother John and I headed down to his wetlands farm of over four hundred acres. We walked everything that didn't have standing water. We jumped turkeys, ducks, pelicans and my favorite, a pileated woodpecker. I love to identify tracks of every kind and this farm has everything. We had not spent a day together like this in years. It was a perfect day! On the way back we drove past an old barn, so I decided right then to put a barn in today's painting. It only looked like I was goofing off all day. I was really hard at work!
