We drove to Kankakee in August, taking backroads. There is no direct 4 lane from Pulaski to Kankakee. It was like driving in a tunnel, Illinois corn very tall along both sides of the roads. And not many hills. Somewhere near Princeville, I think, we saw this neat old barn. I wanted to do a painting of it before my last art show, and didn't have time for an oil to dry. I did this on heavy watercolor paper, with acrylic washes. It's floated on a white mat, with a rustic silvery frame. Image 18x30.
