Pierce College Barn - A Rural Landscape Oil Painting

Pierce College Barn
by Marian Fortunati
12" x 18" Oil on Canvas


Pierce College is in the heart of the South-West San Fernando Valley.  Although most of the huge campus teams with students seeking their AA degrees, a good portion of the campus is the home of the Valley's agricultural past and offers students a chance to learn about animal husbandry in a hands on setting.

This painting will be one of several of my paintings that will be part of a group show called "Rural Remnants of the San Fernando Valley".   La Galeria Gitana is a beautiful jewel of a gallery in San Fernando, CA.  I have been fortunate to have my work in several shows here over the last two years.   If you get a chance, please come by the show.

I love the almost aerial perspective of this piece, Marian. Just beautiful work, as always.

Wow Marian, you've been busy! And your work deserves all the accolades it gets. PS Love the roses.

Love the way you handled the trees and green areas- such struggle for me! Lovely!

Thanks, Sherry... There are hills all over the property and the farm edges up to a row of homes which sit at the top of the hill overlooking the barn... They have a WONDERFUL view... (don't know if they get the smells, though.)
