The Old Columbus Barn

The Old Columbus Barn 

Oil on Canvas, 18"x24"

Here is the old Columbus Barn.  It used to be right at the bridge near the Yellowstone River in Columbus.  It stood in this spot for more than 50 years - which I know of.  It withstood floods, windstorms and severe winters. A few years ago people were allowed to take some of its old barn wood.  This it didn't handle well.  It started to crumple.  Eventually, it settled to the ground and its remains were burnt.  What a pity to see the old landmark replaced by some RV's, a picnic table and a burn barrel in the summers.

Hellroaring Falls

Hellroaring Falls

Oil on Archivally Prepared Panel, 12"x9"

This is a plein air painting.  How exciting to be painting near such a thunderous water fall.  These falls are (guessing) at least 50' tall and only a few miles from East Rosebud Lake.  Some call them the local secret.
