Scott and Rhonda Auton Barn

Although the construction date is unknown, it no doubt was a very efficient dairy barn in its day, with a large milk house added to one side of the barn. Milk was moved into this area for cooling and holding until the milk truck arrived for the daily pick up.

Windows line each side of the barn, which would have created a bright, friendly and airy space for the twice-a-day milking routine. Doors on each end of the barn provided options for moving the cows into and out of the barn as needed. The original milking stanchions and other equipment have been removed from this well-built dairy barn. In its new life, the barn has been repurposed and well-maintained as space for family activities and parties.

I found this eye-catching barn in January 2015. Since the temperatures didn't present a good outdoor painting opportunity, I studied, sketched and photographed the barn for painting later. Having some barns painted while wrapped in the winter season was important to me. I wanted to have barns presented in all seasons. I completed an 18 x 24 inch oil painting on canvas.

All the barn paintings are for sale.  Please contact Gwen to find out if the painting(s) you are interested in are sold or available.
