This is an oil painting of an old wood barn that once stood near Pleasant Hill, Louisiana. This homestead has seen many high winds and tornadoes. One F5 tornado passed through in 1939, and most of the family living there lost their lives. It was so shocking to the community that people never forgot it. Although I was not yet born, I still find it sad, and have been to the family grave site.

At the time that I painted this barn, it had seen its own share of high winds and tornadoes, and already had some damage. I remember going out back, behind the house that was there, and taking photographs of the barn. More high winds came, and the barn was soon in ruins. It was no longer used as a barn, and is no longer standing today. I have hand painted two or three versions of it.

This artwork features an ominous blue sky with diagonal clouds. Three birds fly in the distance. Shadows fall upon the old barn, which is painted wit...

Explore rough, rocky landscapes and old, crumbling buildings, made of rocks, stone, stucco, and wood. There are paintings of Louisiana and the southwest states of Texas, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. You'll also find fanciful works of imagination. These are the paintings of Lenora De Lude. "When I look at the beauty and majesty of creation, I know I can never duplicate the work of the ultimate Master, God Himself. But He has put a creative spark into me, and so I create. Come and see my creations. Pick up a few prints and cards. More will be added soon, and then more after that."
