Tracy Helgesen is inspired by the rolling hills, country roads, trees and barns of New England and upstate New York. Her palette captures the burnished reds, soft greens and rich golds of the beginning and end of the day. The artist's underpainting technique and finishing glaze give her works a soft luminosity.

In this charming original, Tracy's broad strokes and warm colors tell the story of a stalwart building leaned over by the wind, but still serving its purpose of providing shelter on the farm
