Barrett Barn Heritage Restoration in Progress | |
Fans of Group of Seven artist AJ Casson may know that the Barrett Barn located in Glen Williams is featured in Casson’s c.1930 painting “Old Man in a Rocker”. Current owners, Dave and Dale Cox (renowned artists and animators) were delighted to learn that their barn had been a source of inspiration. “A neighbour informed us that A.J. Casson had done a painting of the barn on one of his sojourns to our Glen. As collectors of his art, we recognized the significance of the barn as his model for a painting.” said Dave. | |
