'Shade of the Summer Barn' | Art Print | Still Standing Collection

from $39.00

The pink, blue, and shadow-drenched hues of this original painting depict the quiet, steady presence of a Patagonian summer day. Tucked beneath large poplar trees on a remote working cattle ranch along Chile’s Cisnes River, an aging barn stands as a gentle anchor against the shifting light and fluid greenery surrounding it. This piece plays with the contrast between geometric structure and the soft, organic wildness of the landscape. While the actual building bears the gray wood of decades past, vibrant shades of pink and cool blue emphasize its distinct, enduring spirit amidst the trees. Through these unexpected colors and bold angles, Shade of the Summer Barn captures the slow rhythm of ranch life and the restful, lingering warmth of the sun. May this piece bring a sense of grounded tranquility, gentle warmth, and the spirit of far-off adventures into your home.

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. Shade of the Summer Barn was born from an adventurous trip to La Posada de Los Farios, a working cattle ranch and fly fishing lodge nestled along Chile’s Cisnes River. Every morning began by stretching on the grass beside these historic wooden structures before loading gear into the trucks, leaving an indelible memory of how these aging buildings quietly anchored the remote landscape.

To bring this memory to life back in the studio, I played with the strong, angular lines of the old barn structure standing steady against the fluid movement of the surrounding greenery. While the actual building bears the gray wood of decades past, I deliberately chose vibrant hues of pink and blue to emphasize its unique presence amidst the shifting shadows. It is not just a painting of a ranch building. It is a tribute to the slow rhythm of Patagonian life and the timeless charm of structures that remain standing against the odds.

Every original painting carries a unique story of adventure, historical inspiration, and studio process. For more insight into this piece, check out the blog From Patagonia to the Palette: How a Chilean Girls’ Trip Inspired My Newest Series.

Meet The Artist

Meet The Artist *

Howdy! I’m Caley Van Cleave a Colorado-based artist, lifelong rambler, and a self-proclaimed color maximalist. Inspired by the vastness of the American West, I take sketches and memories from my outdoor adventures and dial up the intensity—bringing the hidden purples of a sunrise snowbank and the electric joy of the wild straight to the canvas.

From my home base at 9,000 feet in Silverthorne, CO, or out on the road in my Airstream, I paint to capture the emotional impact of rugged mountain sunshine and red clay canyons. If it’s bright, bold, and celebrates our stunning natural world, I’m enamored by it.

You won’t find any beige here. I bring the ridiculous, joyful color combinations of our wild spaces directly to the canvas so you can celebrate a world of beautiful, vibrant adventure right in your own space.
