Roadside Barn
Digital painting over one of my own Barn photographs located on the famous Route 66 that runs thru the N. Eastern portion of Connecticut. The drive thru this part of the country can entertain the eyes and mind endlessly. Fall is my fav season to roam thru it all. I think it makes for a nice many occassion card.
