Painting was probably one of the last things.

It stands out so much more now. I think it's gorgeous. It makes me feel like it has been restored to its former glory. There are so few barns around like this anymore. To me, it's the most beautiful barn I've ever seen.

The interior should not take a whole lot of work because it's in good shape.

A portrait is a painting with something wrong with the mouth.

A photograph is not only an image (as a painting is an image), an interpretation of the real; it is also a trace, something directly stenciled off the real, like a footprint or a death mask.
