Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Back in the day, small family farms needed buildings near their home to store animals, tools, equipment and even some types of harvested crops. These were often simple structures they built on their own with the help of relatives or neighbors. Nowadays they have been replaced with much larger, multi-purpose buildings so these old relics of the past are getting harder to find. I discovered this one near the edge of a country road in Northern Kentucky. Although it looked as if it could fall over any time, I thought it still served a purpose to keep a few bales of hay somewhat dry. I wondered about some stories it held of the people who had built it and wished they would have written a song called... My Old Kentucky Barn.
I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures and painterly-style effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
