While the title of this piece is self explanatory, it is much more than that, it is everything that conveys a very special moment for me. Having grown up in southeastern Wisconsin and having seen thousands of barns over the years, one can only become very complacent to scenes such as this, often more times than others missing the unique individual beauty each one of these old barns possess and bestows upon you. There are those very special times when the light hits something or someone just the right way, or colors and smells awaken all your senses and it reminds you of the love you have of a special moment in time in your life, it is then that I am truly inspired and capture the true meaning to me of the particular subject. This work is a result of this feeling I speak of, and why I have named the piece "The Colors of Home". If I were to try and tell someone from where I came, I believe I would not need not have to speak a word, rather let this piece answer this question for me.
