This
is a snow scene of a hay rake in front of the Hunter barn
in the Caney Fork area of Jackson County, North Carolina.
The Hunter barn finally fell in on itself and has since
been dismantled by its owner. It was the subject of two
other watercolor paintings,After the Storm
andWinter Flock.Winter Flock
is also available as a giclée reproduction.
Barns such as this are typical of many you might encounter
in the western North Carolina mountains. Burley tobacco was
hung to dry under the low shed rooves.
