Update to the Old Pennsylvania Farmhouse

The painting that I did in my last post was an indication of how the old farmhouse next to my parent's Pennsylvania property looked 2 and a half years ago. I came up for a visit and took a few new photos showing the state of the property in late June 2012. Here is the result.

As you can see, the back side of the house, after the split, has collapsed. The front is leaning to the left and I expect that within a year or so, the entire farmhouse will be just a pile of rubble.









This is one of the buildings on the farm and all is overgrown by weeds and brush dotted with a few Tiger Lilies.




My next post with outline some of the farms that I came across wile traveling through Virginia and Penna in June and early July 2012.


To see more of the old abandoned farmsteads as well as the beautiful landscapes that comprise our eastern United States rural farmland, attend the upcoming Abandoned Rural America 2 show at the Steffen Thomas Museum of Art in Buckhead GA. The opening is August 30th and it will run through the later part of October 2012 with paintings, drawings photos and a video from myself and painter Don Jolley as well as photograhers Charles St John Dyer and Lisa Wheeler.
