Rammell Barn Painting, A Teton Springs Landmark

Rammell Barn Painting Teton Springs By Borbay

I recently discovered the following, “Any artists living in Idaho for a period of sixteen or more months, is required by law, to create a barn painting. Said Barn must represent at least 40% of the picture plane to be considered a Idaho state approved barn painting.”

And so… I present my painting of Rammell Barn — a landmark located in Teton Springs, of Teton Valley, in Victor, Idaho.

The skies in Teton Valley really are something… this painting would go on to depict, what I’m told, is referred to as a “near bluebird day.”

Laying in the snow… feels cold.

A run of greens, and, of course, the shadows… building form. Pending storm?

I wanted to play with the blue and orange complements… mostly in honor of the recent play of the New York Islanders.

Barn highlights… time to dig into the dark side of the moo… barn.

Lots of purples… creating depth, painting the sloping landscape… down to the final touches.
