This is an outstanding piece of work. The aura of Powell River with its resident fishing boats is portrayed beautifully. The vessel “Shirley” is very thought provoking to me personally.

Artist's Description
And just why DO they paint barns red? Well, I have the answer!!
From the Indiana Public Media's, Moment of Science:
http://indianapublicmedia.org/amomentofscience/why-barns-are-red/
we learn the following:
"Have you ever noticed that most barns are red? There's a scientific reason for that.
A few hundred years ago European farmers started painting their barns with a mixture of linseed oil, milk, and lime. Believe it or not, the combination made a pretty good paint that protected wood. Sometimes they'd also add ferrous oxide, also known as rust, to the mix.
Rust kills fungi and moss. When they grow on a barn they trap moisture in the wood, which leads to decay. Painting a barn with rusty paint was the best way to keep it strong and dry.
After a while, red barns became a tradition in Europe and over here in America. Once commercial paints became available, the tradition continued, since red paint was cheap.

About Lois Bryan
Welcome! I"m a photographer and digital artist living in the Mid-Atlantic area of the US. Drawing and creating my own little sketchy worlds are some of my earliest memories. Life did what it does and the art fell away, but I reconnected when digital photography was introduced. I enjoy adding to my love of photography by tinkering with computer art programs including Photoshop, Corel Painter, Rebelle and others , though I do not use Ai / Artificial Intelligence.

Please be aware that we are currently experiencing a glitch in our system. The images in...

An image well worth the time you've put into it Lois. I love the story on why barns are red. I live in a converted barn, but mine is blue.
Jeff Swanson
Great processing on this beautiful barn Lois. The windows are very different then I'm used too. Also thanks for the class time.
David Simons
I couldn't think any other color than red for a barn. I have seen black, purple, green and red with white trim looks the best in my opinion. "http://www.grit.com/Community/Why-Are-Barns-Red.aspx"
