Harmony Barn Renovation

Sense of Place

6/27/2022

One of our deepest wishes for the Harmony Barn is that people will have an opportunity to gather where they don’t just view the landscape but interact with it. We would like our guests to feel a strong sense of place and develop a connection to the area. To support this, I am creating a series of paintings that reflect my affinity to the surrounding landscape. Painted in a loose, expressive style that borders on abstraction, I hope to share my love of the area with others. Also, a practical reason for these paintings on canvas is that they will absorb sound, and help improve the acoustics. In the future I hope to share the walls with other artists during pop-up shows and events. Here is a sneak preview of some of the paintings that will be going up on the walls as the interior nears completion.
Construction is moving steadily along. The kitchen cabinets have been installed and the concrete floor has been stained a lovely terracotta/bronze color. Between the floor and the lower kitchen cabinets that are a French blue, it is nice to see some color in the space. The exterior walls have been waterproofed, patched, and trimmed and a fresh coat of black stain is bringing it all together. We are thankful that our upstairs weekend guests have been so tolerant of moving through, and staying above the construction. And we are grateful that the builders leave the area as tidy as possible when they are done for the weekend.

    In January 2020, my husband and I bought a barn on 10 acres adjacent to our home property near Mancos, Colorado, and asked ourselves, "What do we do with it now? Since then we have renovated the top floor into a vacation rental and are in the process of renovating the bottom/main part of the barn into a gathering space. Join us on our journey!
