I discovered recently that this oak finally fell onto the prairie sometime probably in November. This was my "demo" painting for the 2016 Fall Art Tour.
I have visited and photographed this spot many times. There is a distant view of Roger's barns and it's good spot to see cranes, ducks, and geese in this placid little water way.
This barn was the result of an experiment with Google Street view. I got lost "driving" along country roads in southwestern WI and came across this lovely barn.
