Images often suggest things not seen on the surface but give us a glimpse of something deeper. When I saw this door with an open view through the large keyhole, it suggested a view into another dimension. Whatever is behind this door is something each viewer can imagine or speculate about. It suggests there is more to our universe than meets the eye and thus shows us how a painting or work of art can lead us into a world of imagination giving new understanding to our unfolding experience and causing us to think new thoughts or see new possibilities.

I’m always fascinated by the textures in old barns so when I came upon this abandoned barn while traveling around painting fall colors, I couldn’t resist the subtle colors of wood in this old door. Looking into the barn I noticed I could see all the way through to the field beyond. There’s something enduring about seeing into and then through these old structures that have been around so long and have so many stories to tell us about our country and our ancestors. I can even imagine my own stories to tell and I’m sure you will have yours.

While traveling in Ohio I came across this old weathered barn. In the late afternoon sunlight the shadows created textures that seemed to literally dance around. I focused on the soft tones of the wood against the rusty metal latch and door handle. The forked stick inserted to hold the latch in place gave the image a whimsical and magical feeling.
