Featured Work: Wet Winter

People around the world live the image of an old red barn covered in snow. Living here in central Wisconsin red barns are pretty much everywhere.  It probably won’t always be that way.  The truth is that they are disappearing quickly.  How many partially collapsed barns can you think of right around our area?  I can think of 4 or 5 without much effort.  The image above entitled “Wet Winter” captures a barn located out between Devil’s Head Ski Resort and Merrimac just after a wet late winter storm.  After taking the photograph I worked with it digitally to soften the edges in a way that enhanced the wet snow feel.  Up close it almost looks like a watercolor painting.  I’ve spent years behind the camera.  It’s only now that I’m finally starting to make some of this work available to the public.

At Skillet Creek I’ve opened a new Gallery Store where you can find high quality prints representing some of the most beautiful sights in our area including Devil’s Lake, Pewit’s nest and more. In addition you’ll find works from around the world.  This week however, we’re staying close to home and featuring Rural Wisconsin.  I think I may have snuck a rural Kentucky shot in there as well.  Enjoy!
