Charles and Sheila Stone, who kept a few beefers owned this farm before they began dairying in 1974. Prior to the Stones the owner was Leon “Pop” Hackett. Pop milked a few cows there in the early 1950s, thus the tiny milkhouse structure between the barn and the road.

This painting is done by Curry Mair using a combination of collage techniques- pasting text from a nineteenth century New Hampshire newspaper to create the road and sky and using heavyweight handmade watercolor paper to represent the foreground snow. This gives a very rough base surface and creates an aged appearance to a new painting and the text adds texture and historical info! The barnboard-framed original painting is 24″ w x 18″ h and will be available at a special price soon. Contact the studio for more information.

Giclee-quality prints of this piece are available in various sizes.

“Hackett Barn” canvas print by Lisa Curry Mair.   Artwork comes to life with the texture and depth of a stretched canvas print. Your image gets printed onto one of our premium canvases and then stretched on a wooden frame of 1.5″ x 1.5″ stretcher bars . Your canvas print will be delivered to you “ready to hang” with pre-attached hanging wire, mounting hooks, and nails. “Mirrored” means the image continues around the edges of the frame.
