This is a watercolor painting of a farm in southwestern Virginia. For many years, my grandparents had their own small farm just a few miles from this one. When my grandfather passed away five years ago, I returned to Virginia and took my camera to capture the beauty of the rural area. This is one of the farms that I photographed. I thought the sign was especially neat, and had a lot of fun painting it and the barn.

This is such a great painting.
Very memorable indeed. Great work.
What a wonderful painting! The colours are so assertive and bold (and you did an awesome job on the signs)
Oh this is beautiful. I love the richness of the red. Well done.
I love this Amy! Once again you show another side of your art that is you and slightly different than what you have shown us before. I love everything about this farm and it's signs!!! This would be great in a show with the quilt piece you painted using your grandma.
Beautifully done! I love the sign too!
Beauty!
Very nice!!
Lovely painting, nice job.
Amy, this is so rich looking! I love the red against that sky and the green grass. The watercolor is so nicely done, too... I really enjoy seeing your painting that's a bit looser. As Val said, it's another side of your art that shows us how broad your talent is:>
this painting is just beautiful!
amy, this is fantastic. what rich clarity from your watercolors. it is great to see your use of different mediums and talents.
woow, beautiful watercolor..! fantastic..
Beautiful painting Amy!
The signs look great, and I like the detail on the cow and patch of flowers.
This is really excellent, I admire your technique.
Wonderful job! I feel like I'm there! (Although I'm trying not to imagine the smell.) :o)
Great work!
wow, great work Amy. the red top of the barm really pops out in front of the sky
Thanks for the message, Amy! take care -
oh VERY VERY cool! I love all the bright color. I've been living here 3 years and I'm always discovering how beautiful this state is. Next time you're in VA, lemme know- I'd love to meet you!
What a fantastic painting, you've captured the cow behind the fence so well.
Wonderful watercolor Amy! The Virginia countryside is breathtaking. You have captured it with your rich bold colors. It is beautiful.
I can't believe your Grandparents had a farm, how idyllic! I can tell from your painting that you must have such wonderful memories from there.
Wow! Amy, this is SOOOOO beautiful!
Amy this ia a beautiful painting. The colors are great and that sign is wonderful.
Amy, this is the ideal farm - the red barn is perfect! Your colours are so fresh and vibrant and I agree, the sign is very neat. I can tell you had fun painting it :) Well done!
This has a wonderful old-fashioned, nostalgia to it. Just lovely.
This is so good that I can even smell the poop! Cow poop, that is. Great piece Amy Zed!
Beautiful red barn, and the sign is very neat. Wonderful watercolor Amy.
Beautiful illustration. This is like the mother of all barns... the epitome of what a barn should be. We have no such buildings in this part of California... at least not kept up as nicely as this. Wonderful painting.
Such detail, it is wonderful
This is really awesome, Amy!!!!
