Bernham's Barn
1927

A vibrant watercolor painting depicting a rural scene with several houses surrounded by lush greenery. The houses have steep roofs and are painted in warm shades of yellow and brown, contrasting with the dark roofs and green foliage. The sky is filled with dynamic strokes of blue and white, suggesting a breezy atmosphere. The artwork has a textured, impressionistic quality, with visible brushstrokes and splatters adding to its charm.
