From the Backroads Gallery

This etching was completed late last year. The old wood barn was found southwest of Council Grove in Morris County, Kansas. It seemed sad that the old barn was abandoned and just waiting for the elements to take their toll. Just think of all the years that it was the center of life on the farm.

"OLD WOOD BARN"

An original Etching

Making one more stand against the elements,

The old wood barn,

Once the center of all the sheltering and toil,

Awaits its eventual demise into a pile of yesterday's memories.
