Local artist and retired Art Teacher, Gail Shelton, loves to travel, sketch, and paint. Over decades, she has driven the highways and backroads across the United States, photographing old barns, farms, abandoned buildings and vehicles. She has put together an art show showcasing new artwork that features some of the sites and locations along the way.
“I love anything that is rusty, dusty, or weathered. So many of these charming scenes are fast disappearing, either by decay, or being torn down. I have photographed lots of these, and been able to use them as references for this new artwork. Many of the works are done in pencil, which I feel, conveys the simplicity and weathered textures well. There are also watercolors, a few pen and ink drawings, and some photographs.
