What speaks to you about it?

I love the iciness and the cold you can almost feel, as well as the fragility of the old cabin that could still be a refuge if needed.

@ECBG You'd love the lithographs my sister has that our parents bought in Tennessee when we lived there. There are 2 of them, quite large, and one is an old cabin, one is I think Clingman's Dome. They're subtle but do have a tint. She was born there so got the Smokey Mt. stuff; I got the Southwestern art, pottery, rugs, etc.

Find a painter and commission a painting. I have a good friend, a professional water colorist, who does lots of commissions.

Years ago when I was into primitive decor, I purchased paintings similar to this.

Don't ask me where...too long ago. Gave all away.

I often wonder why I liked dilapidated old buildings. My grandfather had a farm with many acres. Often he asked me if I wanted to ride along when he drove around the property. He belted me into the back of his red pickup truck, usually, with the dogs.

I remember 3 old rundown buildings, a small cabin, a building for storage, and a shed. At the time I thought he was taking us for a ride. I suppose he was just checking on things, looking for trespassers, because he always stopped, got out of the truck and looked inside the buildings.

Fond memories, I guess, is the reason I still like photos and paintings like this.

The barn in it's self is beautiful and has SO much history which it has seen. I love the mist wrapped around it as if it is holding the barn.

I have never as far as I can remember seeing a barn like this. I am just drawn to it.

Hauntingly beautiful.

@ECBG How about this fixer-upper?

Winter and Fall scenes are my favorites and this would make a very appealing framed print for me. I like everything about it , the snow and cabin portray the harsh winter weather and I wonder what the cabin looked like when new.

@ECBG NOT ME! It looks exactly like the old barn at my grandmother's house. To me it is very depressing to look at. It is funny how so much of what we love depends on going back to our own life experiences!

As a photographer, however, it is a great photo and I can see how it would be attractive to most people! Which is why the world is such an interesting place. How sad if we were all alike!

Just got back from Clingmans Dome. Barely made it before the freezing weather arrived. We love the Smokies, lived near there for many years; I have a lithograph of the John Oliver cabin from The Cades Cove area in the Smokies.

@ECBG

I agree. I often think upon seeing delapitated buildings in the countryside .. how life was for them & why this location .. ? Looks very cozy in this weather. It would be nice if someone could rebuild it. But, on the practical side .. who knows.

This is an old home not a barn.

Do you know a good photographer? My husband doesn't have one of those, but he loves old barns like that. He's got some pretty good photos now. Some look just like oil paintings. Find a good photographer, and they might be able to help you out there.

We love Cade's Cove. We have a painting of one of the old cabins from there, by one of their local artists. It's hanging up, right behind me. It could be the cabin you mention, I forget.

It does have a certain charm, however I feel it would be more of a draw for me if it wasn't so dilapidated. My grandfather had many acres of land way back in the day and we would be able to ride with him sometimes on his tractor. He had several small barn/shed type buildings. I wish I had old photos of them. I can see why you like it.

I have a thing for old barns like this too--I found the prints online in different sizes and then framed them in unique frames that kind of matched--I have 4 that are similar for each season of the year--some are old and grungy and some have weathered paint--- I looked on Etsy for the pics and also for the mats too--- got so many comments from many of the people touring my house when I was selling it last Jan.

There is a haunting beauty to that scene; a painting would be nice in the right setting.

It's probably not for Thomas Kinkade fans though.

This looks like a home. Can you print it and then frame it? I have a covered bridge that went to my husbands Grandmothers house. It's a water color, and I made several copies for Family, that they could frame.

@ECBG I like it. Just looking at it, you know it went thru some good and rough times. It evokes in me the history and imagination.

How old is it? I wonder who first lived here and when? How big of a family lived here and how long? What kind of people were they and how did they make their living? How many other families lived here and who was last and why did they leave? And on and on it goes. Many thoughts and questions.
