"Mail Pouch"

There is an old barn in the center of Twinsburg, Ohio that now houses the historical society. The ad for Mail Pouch tobacco is painted on the side. I took the liberty of painting the barn as it was years ago before Starbucks and Mr Chicken build next door.

We are a third of the way finished with our challenge of 30 paintings in 30 days. I don't have a theme but I am using the photos I have taken as reference. (These photos are posted on Facebook in my " Photo a Day" for a year album.)
