Scenes from my visits to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. I tried to capture the strength of the old weathered barn. This is a textured piece, painted with brush and palette knife. The .75" sides are painted in a dark value. Frame is not included in this listing. Now a little about me: I am a daily painter that has been painting over 20 years and selling art worldwide on the internet. My art is licensed and reproduced as wall decor, as well as other hoursehold items. It has also been purchased as set design for the popular TV show "Hawaii Five-O". Reviews from customers: "As always, I love Carol's work. They are very instinctive pieces, impressionistic, textural; they capture as much detail as necessary to convey wonderful light and mood." "I'm so pleased to have another beautiful painting by Carol, arrived safely and quickly. Thank you so much." "Love, love this painting....exactly as I had hoped...looks beautiful sitting on a pretty easel in my newly decorated kitchen. Packaged very nicely. Very pleased with this purchase!" "Thank you so much for this custom order. The painting is lovely, and I really appreciate your fast service and great communication. Good luck in your art and your business!" "Amazing artist & awesome service !" "What can I say...this painting is better in person than the pictures! Absolutely love love love!!! A beautiful addition to my collection of cat and dog art. Shipped super fast and well packed. Couldn't be more happy and will look out for more art from Carol!! Thanks!!!"
