This smaller photo shows alongside the painting in the exhibit.
It was taken of
“Flukey” and me in 1977, in front of the barn,
after a small local horse show.
This farm was the genesis of this exhibit.
Here's the story...
While on a trip to my old Pennsylvania home last october,
I took a ride through the country to visit
the various barns where I had kept my horse while i was in high school.
This one was a classic Pennsylvania stone bank barn.
I was moved to tears when I pulled in the driveway
to find only the bare remains of the back stone wall.
A high end housing development had replaced
the fields where Flukey and I would ride and share
the afternoons of my teen years.
My sadness increased when I visited the other two barns
later in the day to discover the same fate had fallen on them.
Housing developments everywhere, and not a horse to be found.
This show became a tribute to those vanishing barns, and to the ones that still remain.
