Piece description from the artist
I came across this old wooden barn, painted the traditional oxblood red, surrounded by green summer grasses under a blue sky and was immediately drawn to it. This simplicity of a country barn always draws my eye, and then I begin to notice the little details about it. With this one, the tiny cupelo sitting on top of the roof, which vents the barn when livestock are inside, is and adorable detail. I also love the little windows and door, with the whitewashed trim. On a summer day, this little barn is the epitome of simple country life as the landscape comes back to life with greenery and wildflowers.
Annie was born and raised in Montana, growing up on her family's ranch in the beautiful Smith River Valley.

Annie attended the Art Institute of Colorado and lived in Denver Colorado until the completion of her Interior Design degree in 2002.

She began traveling the backroads and wilderness of Montana and the Rocky Mountain region and selling her photos professionally in galleries, shops, and online. She primarily searches for rural Landscapes, old barns, abandoned farmhouses, and occasionally wildlife she encounters. Her work as been featured in HGTV, Better Homes and Gardens, and featured in three books on emerging artists of the United States.
