Description
This weathered shed in gray wood, with a red roof and rusted hinges, was part of a 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.
Old oak trees shade this peaceful scene, photographed in color in April 2014 and rendered as a watercolor. The shed sits behind a classic barbed wire and wood post fence. Green grass dotted with wildflowers fill the foreground, and soft blue sky is seen through a gap in the scraggly old oak trees. A companion watercolor of this red-roof shed is available in this Gallery in horizontal orientation. A full-size uncropped horizontal image of the main barn is also available. All three images were shot by this photographer and rendered in watercolor to bring out their historic beauty.
Nikon D7100, Nikon 105mm/f2.8 Micro Lens, Hoya circular polarizer, and ND filter. Shot outdoors in late afternoon with available light. This image is also available in horizontal orientation.
