White Sulphur Springs Ranch Barn

This barn is along Hwy 89 near Graeagle California, in Plumas County. The White Sulpher Hot Springs Ranch  where the barn is located is currently being restored .

I have admired this place for over 30 years. I have tried to imagine how to paint this barn with the white roof over the years as I passed it on the way to go camping. This time I stopped, the light was perfect and did a little painting on site and was happy with the results.
Above is the barn when I started and the next photo when I finished. One of the difficulties of painting on location is the movement of the sun and loss of shadows. I was immediately drawn to the shadow side of the barn when I stopped.

It was slightly windy and the metal roof would make noise where the panels have come loose.
