All these barns can be found in Illinois, that is if they are still standing, barns are fast disappearing.

Absolutely lovely . You have a great talent !

I wonder if you know of Erick Sloane's booKs?

The one that comes to mind is Eric Sloane's "An Age of Barns: An Illustrated Review of Classic Barn Styles and construction"

My favorite of his is "A Reverence for Wood". You can read the reviews on Amazon and most libraries have one or more of his books

I love old barns too. There are a lot of them in WY. I always have to stop and take pictures. You are a terrific photographer

Lovely pictures, thank you. Brings back memories of my childhood. I grew up in Shelby County, IL and loved all the old barns.
Have a great weekend.

I don't know how I missed these all this time. Just too many thinkgs going on, I guess. You did a wonderful job. I would have loved to have had access to those barn when I was painting years ago. Too late now to do anything but look and admire your work. Nice going. Nan
