Barns of the Palouse

The barns are pen & ink sketches done on location.

The old Palouse barns are rapidly disappearing. Most of the barns in this series date back to the early 1900s, and many are no longer standing. The series is a conscious effort to depict the variety of architectural styles and construciton techniques used to build the barns. My goal was to capture these while they still stood; the barn series lives on as a reminder of the family farms that made the Palouse what it is today.
