The radiant pinks and sun-drenched blues of this original painting capture the vibrant, soaking warmth of an afternoon in Patagonia. Zoomed in close so the historic structure fills the frame, Glow on the Old Barn focuses entirely on the electric energy of the summer sun radiating off weathered wood. Back in the studio, I drew directly from my memories of our time on that remote river ranch along Chile’s Cisnes River. I channeled the simple, joyful mood of pausing under the open sky, stretching in the grass, and soaking in the light alongside this old building. Bold, intentional brushstrokes transform an aging ranch structure into a punchy, modern focal point. May this piece bring a wave of joyful energy, brilliant warmth, and vibrant color into your space.

Still Standing Collection

Deep in the backcountry, tucked into aspen groves or perched precariously over mountain rivers, you will find them: the weathered cabins, forgotten mills, and quiet ghost towns that time left behind. This collection is a celebration of these resilient structures that refuse to yield to the elements. By pairing the rough, historic textures of these relics with a vivid, unexpected palette of electric blues, dreamlike purples, and warm alpenglow pinks, I wanted to breathe new life into these historic spaces. These paintings are a tribute to the spirit of the backcountry, the stories built into old timber, and the quiet magic of places that are still standing.

Behind the Studio Doors: The Story & Process

Beyond the frame lies a true backcountry memory. Before this canvas was painted, it was lived. Glow on the Old Barn was born during an adventurous trip to La Posada de Los Farios along Chile’s Cisnes River. Between fishing runs on the water, my sister and I spent quiet mornings stretching on the grass in the warm Patagonian sunshine, watching the light hit the weathered timber of the ranch outbuildings.

Back in the studio, I wanted to capture that exact feeling of soaking in the joy of the summer sun. Zooming in close so the building fills the frame, I used bold brushstrokes and an energetic palette of radiant pinks and blues to translate that sunlit warmth onto wood panel. It is not just a painting of an old barn. It is a concentrated dose of joyful energy and a celebration of the restful, rejuvenating moments found deep in wild places.
