Blue Barn Green Field

About Blue Barn Green Field

For Canada’s beloved pop artist, Charles Pachter, the barn reimagined in graphic form is a reminder of Canada’s early rural history and the pioneers that helped shape this country. The hard-edge clean lines of this acrylic painting feature a small barn nestled amidst the graceful arc of hills and a farmer’s field. The colour palette is fresh and contemporary—shades of blue for the barn, the hills and the sky, the field in lime green and the white roof offers bold contrast. One of a series.

“Charles Pachter is the most Canadian artist this country has ever produced, including the Group of Seven. Charlie is a Group of One and no one else can do what he does.“ Leonard Wise, Author and Art Critic
