This abandoned farm is a typical sight around the Parrsboro area. At one time, this entire region was a bustling ship building and fishing site. Many famous vessels got their start here and coal was brought from Springhill and exported by ship and rail. At one time the only road to Truro and the lower peninsula was through Parrsboro but this has been replaced by the Trans Canada Highway which bypasses it. It's a great place to paint and really get away.

Nice one! Very peaceful mood, such a summer feeling.
Nice. I really like the colors in the trees in the right upper corner.
I like it very much, too.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Nice!!
Wow, what a beauty. Such a great feel to it. I agree with Wanda the trees are well done. The shadows are great on the building especially the reflected greens in the eaves. Cheers! ~Heidi
Oooh, yeah, I hadn't noticed the reflected greens until I read the other comments. Nicely done.
Thanks all for your time and comments.
