Perfect subject, love old barns and what a shame about it's future. Very well rendered Caroline

Thank you very much, Derek. The farmer remembers his grandfather building it. I must try to find out when that was.

Beautiful scene Caroline, my mum in law came from Suffolk I'm sure I've heard of Sweffling. Shame they pull these lovely places down :(

Lovely capture of decay in an old structure.

Thank you Carole; it's north of Ipswich, and halfway between Saxmundham and Framlingham. And thank you for your comment, Willie. I did a couple of oil sketches en plein air and did this painting from them and a photo. I was amazed by how much it helped having sketched first.

A Lovely painting Caroline

Caroline this is beautiful

Ah yes, she grew up in Saxmundham, we used to take her down there to visit her sister some years ago. Thanks Caroline.

What a shame this will be replaced by something stark and souless...no doubt. You've done a magnificent job of capturing it Caroline....and it's lovely to see you posting again.
