Description
Pioneer Building. Independence Texas by Connie Fox.
What appears to be a weathered house in gray wood, with a red roof, sits alone in a field under a gentle blue sky near Independence, Washington County, Texas, not far from Brenham.
PLEASE COMPARE with my image titled "The Red Roof." The two are rendered with completely different effects and are not cropped the same. In my Rural Texas gallery, they appear side by side for your convenience in comparing the two versions.
This structure may have been part of the large agricultural enterprise run by Texas pioneer Robert Stark Armistead and his wife, Ann, who married in 1826 and came to Texas in 1835. The Armisteads settled here in Independence, Washington County, Texas, not far from Brenham. Mr. Armistead became a charter trustee of Baylor University in 1845. You will find more images from the Armistead Homestead in this Gallery, all with the same (or similar) processing.
Old oak trees shade this peaceful scene, photographed in color in April 2014 and rendered as a watercolor. A barbed wire fence with wood posts is seen in the foreground. Based on an original photograph by the artist, shot from the road in late afternoon with available light. This image is in horizontal orientation.
